Consents, ground and services in Bognor Regis
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority covering Bognor Regis'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 Arun) 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. Drainage outlets are tested by running water into the pit; where they no longer drain, the cause may be a collapsed pipe or a soakaway that has silted up, which may need a separate drainage repair quoted in writing.
- 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.
Installation, step by step
Tell us about the installation
Send the make and model if known, the number of bollards, how busy the entrance is and any current problems, with photographs of the bollards and controller.
Agree the visit or contract
We price a one-off visit or a contract in writing, with the visit frequency suggested for your usage. Nothing is booked until you have agreed it.
Plan around the entrance
Visits are planned to keep the entrance usable, usually servicing one lane or bollard at a time, with cones and staff on hand while a bollard is out of service.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Safety and access testing | Loops, photocells, lights, manual release, emergency functions and access control inputs tested on every visit. |
| Planned maintenance contract | Scheduled visits at agreed intervals, priced in writing, with a consistent record kept across visits. |
| Hydraulic servicing | Fluid, hoses, seals, pump and valve checks, with fluid topped up or changed as needed. |
What moves the price in Bognor Regis
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bognor Regis firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Traffic management needed on live roads
- Rated bollards with manufacturer-specified procedures
- Visit frequency and contract length
After installation
If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Bognor Regis, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
