Consents, ground and services in Chepstow
In Chepstow the highway authority for local roads is Monmouthshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because concrete bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
Many private-land installations in Chepstow 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 Monmouthshire County Council before posts go in.
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. Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Use contrasting colours or bands so grey bollards stand out against grey paving.
From survey to handover
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.
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.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dowel-fixed or root-set | Dowels grouted into a foundation for most installations; root-set posts buried in the ground on softer sites. |
| 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. |
