Consents, ground and services in Kenilworth
In Kenilworth, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Kenilworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Warwickshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health. Loops fail when the road surface around them cracks or is patched, so loop condition is checked alongside surface condition.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
