New council housing

Welcome to Housing Services new council housing page. Here you can find information on the current sites we are building affordable homes on.

We are committed to building quality new homes which are award-winning, creating sustainable communities across Darlington. All of our homes are built by our in-house team at Darlington Borough Council and are built to high environmental standards.

Housing Services wants to progress in building new and affordable homes to help ease the housing crisis and help regenerate brownfield sites to create sustainable communities for people to live.
