Rules for bollard access control systems in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works
Understand the users
At the free site survey we ask who uses the entrance, how many, how often they change, and how visitors and deliveries arrive. That decides the entry method, and a fixed written quote follows.
Wire and connect
A qualified electrician installs power, and devices are connected to the bollard controller and to any network or building system.
Programme and test
Users, plates, codes and schedules are entered, and every entry and exit route is tested with vehicles, including what happens when access is refused.
Hand over
You are shown how to add and remove users, read logs and use the emergency override. Credentials and settings are recorded.

Is ANPR or fob access better for an automatic bollard?
ANPR suits sites with many regular users who should not have to stop or carry a fob. Fobs suit sites where users change vehicles or where you want each person to have their own credential. Many sites use ANPR for staff and an intercom for visitors.
Do ANPR cameras at our entrance raise data protection issues?
They collect personal data, so you need to handle it properly, including signage, a privacy notice and sensible retention periods. Your data protection adviser can confirm what applies to your site. We can set retention and access options on the system to match.
