Permissions and groundwork in Cleckheaton
The highway authority for local roads in Cleckheaton is Kirklees Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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 (Kirklees Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Access control adds duct runs, pedestals and loops to a bollard installation, and each means cutting into the surface. Ducts between the controller, readers and cameras usually cross footways and verges where services run, so routes are traced before digging and draw pits are placed where runs change direction.
- Agree emergency access with the fire and ambulance services and test the override.
- Keep access requests and safety devices separate, so an access device can never force a bollard to rise while a vehicle is over it.
What happens on site
Plan positions
Readers, cameras and intercoms are placed so drivers stop well before the bollard, with queueing space off the public road where possible.
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.
Hand over
You are shown how to add and remove users, read logs and use the emergency override. Credentials and settings are recorded.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Integration | Links to existing building access control, fire alarm interfaces and emergency overrides. |
| Remote handsets and app control | Handsets for small user groups; app control for sites that want to add and remove users from a phone. |
