Consents, ground and services in Yateley
The highway authority for local roads in Yateley is Hampshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Concrete bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Yateley is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Hart) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit. Services under footways are traced before excavation.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
Installation, step by step
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Surface finishes | Smooth, exposed aggregate, acid-etched or shot-blasted, chosen to suit paving and resist visible weathering. |
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Yateley?
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority covering Yateley's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.

Can concrete bollards be moved later?
Yes, though it takes lifting equipment. Dowel-fixed bollards can be lifted off once the grout is broken out, and the foundation removed or reused. Plan for it if you think the layout may change.

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.
