A Development To Benefit All Residents

Our Residents

This development represents an opportunity to raise the profile of Seaham and East Durham, by attracting national and global interest in the villages’ approach to deliver new high quality homes for everyone.

The Government has recognised in its Industrial Strategy that the UK’s ageing society is a challenge but also an opportunity. The idea is to develop new knowledge-based innovation that the UK can export by setting up a number of new regional Digital Innovation Hubs, of which one could be located in Seaham Garden Village. Three national leading academics are already associated with the village, including the Director of the UK’s National Centre for Ageing, based at Newcastle University, who sees the village as a ‘living lab’ in which to test new models of care and technology.
