Permissions and groundwork in Perth
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Perth means Perth and Kinross Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at Perth and Kinross Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath. Base-plate repairs depend on the slab: if the concrete has cracked or crumbled around the anchors, it is cut back and repaired before new fixings go in.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the roads authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
