Consents, ground and services in Bognor Regis
In Bognor Regis, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from West Sussex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Bognor Regis need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Arun before posts go in.
Pedestals need small concrete bases set plumb so readers stay at the right height. Exit and safety loops must be cut into sound tarmac or concrete; cracked or patched surfaces cause loop faults, so poor areas are resurfaced first.
- If you use ANPR or video, check your obligations for handling personal data, including signage, a privacy notice and how long records are kept.
- Have power and data installations certified by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Exit loops and timers | Loops lower the bollard for vehicles leaving; timers hold it down during set windows. |
| GSM and video intercoms | Visitors call a person or phone, who opens remotely. Video models let the person answering see who is at the entrance. |
| Integration | Links to existing building access control, fire alarm interfaces and emergency overrides. |
Pricing bollard access control systems in Bognor Regis
Two Bognor Regis jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Pedestals, lighting for cameras and signage
- Network or GSM connectivity at the entrance
- Integration with existing access control or fire systems
Keeping them working
If the bollard opens for people who should not have access, the user list is usually the cause rather than the hardware. Clean camera lenses and reader faces, check pedestal fixings and look for damage from vehicles.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Bognor Regis.

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.
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.
