Consents, ground and services in Coalville
Leicestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Coalville'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 Coalville 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 North West Leicestershire before posts go in.
Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation. Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.
Installation, step by step
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.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Change of type | Swapping fixed posts for removable, telescopic, flexible or polymer bollards to suit how the site is used. |
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| Like-for-like | Same diameter, height, finish and fixing, so the line looks unchanged. |
What moves the price in Coalville
Our East Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Coalville firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Making safe before the replacement
- Size and condition of the old foundation
Looking after them
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. A single impact on a rarely struck post is bad luck; repeated strikes in the same spot point to a layout problem, such as a tight turn or a missing wheel stop, that a stronger bollard alone will not solve.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Coalville.
