Permissions and groundwork in Yateley
In Yateley, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hampshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
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 Hart) first — we flag this at survey.
Pedestals need small concrete bases set plumb so readers stay at the right height. Access control adds duct runs, pedestals and loops to a bollard installation, and each means cutting into the surface.
- Have power and data installations certified by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- If you use ANPR or video, check your obligations for handling personal data, including signage, a privacy notice and how long records are kept.
Installation, step by step
Lay ducts and pedestals
Ducts are laid from the controller to each device, and pedestals or posts are set in concrete. Loops for exit and detection are cut and sealed.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Keypads | Code entry for small groups or as a backup. Simple to manage, but codes spread, so change them regularly. |
| Fob, card and tag readers | Proximity readers on a pedestal at window height. Lost fobs can be deleted individually without changing anyone else's access. |
| Remote handsets and app control | Handsets for small user groups; app control for sites that want to add and remove users from a phone. |
What affects the quote
When we price bollard access control systems in Yateley, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of users and how they will be managed
- Entry method chosen and number of devices
- Duct lengths and surface reinstatement
Looking after them
Access control needs housekeeping as much as hardware care. Remove users, fobs and plates when people leave, change keypad codes periodically and check that intercom phone numbers are still current.
If posts in Yateley are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Which parts of Yateley do you cover for bollard access control systems?
We cover all of Yateley (GU46 and GU17) and the rest of Hampshire. We also work in Sandhurst, Crowthorne and Camberley.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Yateley?
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Yateley's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do bollard access control systems cost in Yateley?
In Yateley, typically £635–£12,695 per entrance, controls supplied, installed and commissioned, plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
How do visitors and delivery drivers get through?
Usually by intercom to reception or a phone, by a temporary code, or by a timed delivery window. Some systems issue time-limited access to a visitor's number plate. The choice depends on how many visitors arrive and who is there to manage them.
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.
