Rules for cast iron bollards in England

Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works

Agree pattern and approvals

We source a matching pattern or close equivalent and, where needed, provide details for the conservation officer or planning authority before ordering.

Lift paving carefully

Natural stone flags, setts and kerbs are lifted by hand, numbered where needed and stored for relaying.

Set the post

Each bollard is set plumb in concrete with its root, flange or core, at a height that matches its neighbours. Original posts being reset are cleaned and checked for cracks first.

Relay and finish

Stone is relaid in its original pattern with suitable mortar, and the bollard is painted or touched up after fixing.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Hampshire?

Do we need consent for bollards in a conservation area?

Possibly. Consent requirements depend on where the bollards go, who installs them and whether nearby buildings are listed. Ask the local planning authority or conservation officer before ordering.

Can heritage bollards give real vehicle protection?

On their own, untested cast bollards cannot be relied on for security. Where protection is needed, heritage covers designed for crash-tested cores give the traditional look over a tested product.
