Rules for concrete bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. 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
Survey and choose
A free site survey looks at the setting, ground, delivery access and where a lifting vehicle can stand. You receive a fixed written quote with the product, finish and fixing.
Plan lifting
Each bollard's weight is checked, and a lifting method is chosen, such as a vacuum lifter or crane arm, with an exclusion zone set during lifts.
Excavate and cast foundations
Small foundations are excavated, checked for services and cast with a dowel hole or sleeve at the right position and level.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Fife?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Fife Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
How heavy are concrete bollards?
Often well over a hundred kilograms each, and larger designs several times that. The exact weight depends on size and shape. It means they are delivered and set using lifting equipment rather than by hand.
How are concrete bollards fixed down?
Usually with a steel dowel at the base grouted into a small concrete foundation, so they cannot be pushed or rocked. Some designs have a root buried in the ground instead. Free-standing placement is used only for temporary layouts.
