Brick work they don't touch, It needs to be tarmac.
I asked about timescales and he looked and said there is nothing listed for the next 6 months as they were working up to my area from the other side starting with new builds on the outskirts.
I'm not saying what he says is gospel but it's encouraging. I also showed him my street on Streetview and he said there is no reason why it wouldn't happen.
Just a case of sit and wait which is the frustrating thing.

That isn't correct, we are actively building in huge areas of block paving (Dunfermline), paving slabs (Newcastle) and red tarmac all over the country. What stops us digging in an area is wayleave in private areas, if we don't have permission to dig from the landowners then we wont place micro duct in private driveways (for example).
This person you spoke with would be part of the regional sales team and not a planner so may not be aware of the intricacies of expansion. We also don't start with New Build sites, they are completely separate to project lightning delivered by different field teams and budgets.
