New Homes in County Durham rating highly for Health and Wellbeing

Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, prioritising our health and quality of life for ourselves and our families has become more crucial than ever before. With this in mind, we understand the significance of choosing a living environment that promotes physical and mental wellbeing.

Here, we provide invaluable insights into the best properties based on their contribution to your health and overall wellbeing in County Durham. Collaborating closely with data experts CLSQ, we meticulously assess every current new homes development, assigning ratings under our ratings category ‘Health & Wellbeing’.

Our Health & Wellbeing rating takes into account various factors to ensure a comprehensive assessment, including proximity to places for active and natural leisure, such as playing fields, playgrounds, swimming and sports facilities, public open spaces, parks, and allotments.

We also consider levels of air pollution, noise levels from road, rail, and air transport, proximity to pylons and power lines, crime levels in the neighbourhood, and road traffic collision data for safety considerations.

By considering these essential factors, our rating system offers an in-depth score to help you understand what to expect in terms of physical and mental health from the area surrounding your potential new home.
