Consents, ground and services in Havant
The highway authority for local roads in Havant is Hampshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Havant 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 Havant before posts go in.
Removing an old bollard often reveals more concrete than expected, because foundations from different eras vary widely in size. Where a replacement is being made after an impact, the surrounding paving and kerbs are checked as well, because a vehicle that bent a post has often lifted or cracked the surface beside it, and that damage is included in the quote rather than left for later.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
Installation, step by step
Remove the old bollard
The damaged post is cut or extracted and the old foundation broken out, checking for services as the hole is opened.
Install the new post
The new bollard is set in a fresh foundation, aligned with its neighbours and the surface is reinstated to match.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |

| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Crash-rated upgrade | Replacing unrated posts with tested products, installed to the manufacturer's foundation design and specified with your security adviser. |

Make the area safe, photograph the damage and report it if the post is on public land. Check whether CCTV covered the area. A written quote from us can then support any claim.
