What we check first in Belper
Derbyshire County Council is the highway authority covering Belper's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (the council for Amber Valley) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
How the job runs
Make safe
If a broken post or stub is a hazard, it can be removed or capped first. That is priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |

What happens to the old bollard?
It is taken away with the broken-out concrete. Steel and iron are recycled where possible. Original heritage bollards can be returned to you if you want to keep them.

Sometimes, if the old foundation is sound and suits the new post. Foundations cracked by an impact are broken out. Rated bollards always need the manufacturer's tested foundation.
