Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at South Lanarkshire Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
Where a vehicle impact has cracked the cassette's foundation, the concrete may need breaking out and recasting before the bollard can safely return to use. Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground.
- Do not keep a bollard in service with faulty or bypassed safety devices; make it safe and lock it down or out of use until repaired.
