Permissions and groundwork in Bedworth
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Bedworth's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth) first — we flag this at survey.
Loops fail when surfaces crack, sink or are patched; replacing a loop in a broken surface without repairing the surface first just leads to another failure. 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.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
Installation, step by step
Describe the fault
Tell us what the bollard is doing, any lights or messages on the controller, recent weather or roadworks, and send photographs of the bollard, pit and controller.
Make the entrance safe
On arrival, the crew makes the bollard and entrance safe, lowering or securing it as agreed with you and coning the area.
Test and report
After the repair, every safety device and access input is tested with vehicles, and you receive a written report of the fault, cause and work done.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pit and drainage | Pumping out flooded cassettes, clearing drains and repairing failed outlets. |
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
