Consents, ground and services in Bognor Regis
In Bognor Regis, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from West Sussex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Bognor Regis 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 Arun before posts go in.
Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close. 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.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.
How the job runs
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 |
|---|---|
| Planters and blocks | Concrete planters and seating blocks used in place of bollards where a softer look is wanted. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
What affects the quote
When we price concrete bollards in Bognor Regis, these make the biggest difference:
- Precast concrete or reconstituted stone
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
- Lifting equipment and access for delivery
After installation
Keep a note of the product name, finish and supplier, because matching a single damaged bollard years later is much easier when the original specification is known. Small chips can be repaired with a colour-matched mortar, but a bollard that has cracked through or sheared at the dowel needs replacing.
For damaged or loose posts in Bognor Regis, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.
Concrete bollards in Bognor Regis: FAQs
Which parts of Bognor Regis do you cover for concrete bollards?
We cover all of Bognor Regis (PO21 and PO22) and the rest of West Sussex. We also work in Chichester, Littlehampton and Worthing.
Do I need consent for concrete bollards on a public footway in Bognor Regis?
The highway authority for local roads in Bognor Regis is West Sussex 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.
How much do concrete bollards cost in Bognor Regis?
In Bognor Regis, typically £185–£635 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £625 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
