Consents, ground and services in Evesham
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Evesham's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Evesham 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 Wychavon before posts go in.
Older bollards may sit in large blocks of concrete, and rated bollards in very large reinforced bases, so full extraction can mean substantial breaking out and spoil removal. Foundations are rarely the size anyone expects.
- Collect and dispose of hydraulic fluid and waste properly rather than leaving it in the ground.
- Have automatic and lighting bollard supplies isolated and made safe by a qualified electrician.
What happens on site
Survey what is in the ground
The free site survey identifies bollard types, likely foundation sizes, any power or ducts, and what the area will be used for next. You receive a fixed written quote for the agreed level of removal.
Check consents and reasons
Before removal, check whether the bollards were required by a planning condition, a lease, a security plan or the highway authority, and whether they protect something such as a meter or a building corner.
Backfill and reinstate
Holes are backfilled in compacted layers and the surface reinstated to match, so there is no settlement or trip edge.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Automatic bollard decommissioning | Electrical isolation, hydraulic drain-down, cassette removal and capping of ducts. |
| Cut off below surface | Post removed at or below finished level, foundation left in place and the surface patched. Quick and low-disruption. |
| Relocation | Careful removal of reusable posts and reinstallation in new positions on the same site. |

- Access, working hours and waste disposal
- Number and type of bollards

Keeping them working
Keep any keys, manuals and records from removed automatic bollards until the controller and cabling have also been dealt with, as they help an electrician confirm what was connected. Where cables were terminated rather than removed, record where they are and confirm with the electrician that they are dead and labelled.
For damaged or loose posts in Evesham, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Evesham?
In Evesham, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Worcestershire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
What's a typical price for bollard removal jobs in Evesham?
In Evesham, typically £80–£345 per post removed with footing, surface made good, plus VAT (£95–£405 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £295 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can removed bollards be reused elsewhere on site?
Often, if they come out undamaged. Steel posts and removable bollards relocate well. New foundations are formed at the new positions.
Will the surface look patched after removal?
On block paving it can be nearly invisible, as the blocks are relaid. Tarmac, resin and concrete usually show a patch, especially on older weathered surfaces. Timing removal before resurfacing avoids that.
