Different county, different council — and a lot of Victorian brick
Rugby is in Warwickshire, not Northamptonshire, and its planning authority is Rugby Borough Council rather than West Northamptonshire. If you are reading general advice about driveways in Northamptonshire, the national planning rules are the same, but the council you would deal with over anything site-specific is a different one. We work on both sides of the border routinely, so this is familiar ground.
Architecturally, Rugby is a Victorian town. The railway made it, and much of the housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian brick with the frontages to match — often narrower, often with a low wall or railing line, and usually red or red-brown brick. Cool grey aggregate blends that look sharp on a modern estate can look cold against that brickwork. Warmer buff, gold and mixed blends generally sit better, and we bring samples to check it against your own frontage in daylight.
