Consents, ground and services in Arnold
Nottinghamshire County Council is the highway authority covering Arnold'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 Arnold 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 Gedling before posts go in.
Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further. Reinstatement matches what is there, whether tarmac, block paving, flags, resin or turf, though older or weathered surfaces may show a visible patch.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- On heritage bollards in conservation areas, repair and reset rather than replace where the conservation officer expects it.
How the job runs
Send photos and details
Tell us what has happened and send photographs of each affected post, close up and from a distance, with the location. That lets us identify the bollard type and the likely repair.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
Record and hand back
The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Coatings | Touch-up or full repainting of steel and cast iron posts to stop corrosion taking hold. |
| Re-bedding | Breaking out a failed foundation and resetting the existing post plumb in new concrete, then reinstating the surface. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
