Permissions and groundwork in Bromsgrove
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Bromsgrove's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Bromsgrove need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Bromsgrove before posts go in.
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. Pits flood when drains silt up, soakaways fail or pipes collapse, and the repair may involve jetting or relaying a drain as well as replacing water-damaged parts.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
What happens on site
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
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.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Loop replacement | New safety and exit loops cut into sound surface, with detectors retuned and tested. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
| Electro-mechanical repairs | Motors, gearboxes, couplings, position sensors and limit switches. |
