Permissions and groundwork in Bangor, Gwynedd
Local roads and pavements in Bangor, Gwynedd are the responsibility of Gwynedd Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
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 (Gwynedd Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
