Consents, ground and services in Haverfordwest
Local roads and pavements in Haverfordwest are the responsibility of Pembrokeshire County Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
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 (Pembrokeshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.

After installation
If the site changes how the entrance is used, such as longer opening hours or heavier delivery vehicles, mention it before the next visit so the service frequency and safety settings can be reconsidered.
