Consents, ground and services in Haverfordwest
Local roads and pavements in Haverfordwest are the responsibility of Pembrokeshire County Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
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 (Pembrokeshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Historic streets were built in layers: modern services sit over older drains, coal holes and sometimes vaults, and the paving may be natural stone on a lime or sand bed rather than concrete. Original stone flags and setts are reused wherever possible, because new stone rarely matches weathered material.
- On public highway, agree positions and specification with the highway authority.
- Check whether existing bollards are of historic interest or listed before removing them; repair and resetting may be expected.
How the job runs
Record what is there
The free site survey records existing bollards, their pattern, spacing, height and condition, and the paving they sit in. You receive a fixed written quote covering new castings, resets and reinstatement.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Traditional patterns | Cannon, fluted Doric, ball-top, Victorian and Georgian styles, and crest panels for estates or boroughs. |
| Steel cores and covers | Cast covers over root-fixed steel or crash-tested cores for strength without changing the look. |
| Cast aluminium | Lighter and easier to handle, with traditional patterns, but less robust and not always accepted in sensitive settings. |
What affects the quote
When we price cast iron bollards in Haverfordwest, these make the biggest difference:
