Consents, ground and services in Selby
North Yorkshire Council is the highway authority covering Selby'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 Selby 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 North Yorkshire Council before posts go in.
Reinstatement matches the surrounding surface, though weathered paving and older tarmac may leave a visible patch. If the old foundation is cracked from the impact, it is removed entirely; if it is sound and suits the new post, reuse can reduce disruption.
- Where bollards were required by a planning condition, a security plan or a lease, check that any change of type still meets that requirement.
- On public highway, the highway authority may need to approve the replacement or carry out the work itself.
From survey to handover
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.
Hand over records
Photographs and an itemised invoice are provided, which is useful when recovering the cost from a driver's insurer.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Making safe | Removing or capping a dangerous broken stub before the replacement is fitted. |
| 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 affects the quote
When we price replacement bollards in Selby, these make the biggest difference:
- Matching special finishes, castings or discontinued products
- Upgrades that need larger foundations
- Number of posts and the product chosen
Keeping them working
Keep a record of the new product, finish and supplier so future replacements match. After replacement, look at why the post failed.
For damaged or loose posts in Selby, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Bollard replacement in Selby: FAQs
Which parts of Selby do you cover for replacement bollards?
We cover all of Selby (YO8) and the rest of North Yorkshire. We also work in Goole, Pontefract and York.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Selby?
The highway authority for local roads in Selby is North Yorkshire 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.
How much do replacement bollards cost in Selby?
In Selby, typically £205–£1,145 per post replaced, old post and footing removed, plus VAT (£245–£1,345 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £425 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Can a new bollard reuse the old foundation?
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.
Can you replace just one bollard in a line?
Yes. We measure and match the existing posts so the new one sits in line at the same height and finish. If the original product is no longer made, we show you a close equivalent first.
