On Thursday 19th Feb we went to see the bricks offered as alternatives to the one we had originally picked. It was so much easier when looking at the actual brick rather than a computer image. We narrowed it down to the two we most liked.
From there we went to see those two bricks on actual homes. That helped in deciding which brick to choose. I've included an image of our original choice and the brick we have re-selected.
Malt / Chocolate
We notified PD of our decision on Friday, to which they informed us that a change would require us going back to town planning for an amendment to our colour scheme. It also meant a variation to our contract with PD.
Considering how long it took our plans to be approved in the first place [13 weeks] and the fact that a variation was to be made, we wondered if we wouldn't be better off just waiting to mid March when the next batch of our first choice brick would be ready. There was no guarantee the batch wouldn't have the pink tinge again so in the end we decided to go with the chocolate brick.
We have requested an amendment from council. May the wait not be too long so progress can happen soon!!
