Rules for concrete bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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
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.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Reinstate and clean
Paving is made good around each base and the bollards are cleaned of mortar and handling marks.

For local roads, Shropshire Council and Telford and Wrekin Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Are concrete bollards anti-ram?
Only if that specific product has been crash-tested. Weight alone does not make a bollard crash-rated, and an untested concrete post can crack or shear when hit hard. Tested concrete-clad products exist for security use.
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.
