Where concrete bollards go in around New Milton

- Park entrances and greens where vehicles should not drive
- Retail parks and landscaped car parks
- Housing estates and communal areas
Before we dig in New Milton
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering New Milton'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 New Milton 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 New Forest before posts go in.
Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt. Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
What happens on site
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.
Protect while the grout cures
Bollards are left undisturbed until the grout and foundation have gained strength, with temporary barriers if vehicles use the area. Lines that need to open to traffic quickly can use faster-setting grouts where the product allows.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |

Small chips and edge damage can be filled with colour-matched mortar. A bollard cracked through or broken at its base needs replacing. Matching finishes is easier if the original product is still made.
