Permissions and groundwork in Bridlington
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is the highway authority covering Bridlington's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (East Riding of Yorkshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Block paving reinstates well because the original blocks can go back; tarmac, resin-bound and imprinted concrete show patching, so we keep cuts tight and positions sensible. The water supply pipe, gas service and electric cable all cross the front garden, often at shallow depth and rarely where you would guess, and older drives may cover inspection chambers or soakaways.
- In conservation areas or at listed buildings, check with the local planning authority before fitting visible posts.
- Connect any cassette drainage to surface water or a soakaway, not to the foul drain.
From survey to handover
Free home survey
We look at your drive, how and where you park, the surface and what might be under it, such as the water pipe or a gas service. You receive a fixed written quote with the post type and position marked.
Mark the position
The position is marked with the car in place, so we can check it blocks the car and that you can still open doors and walk past.
Fit the post
Telescopic cassettes and removable sockets are set flush in concrete with drainage beneath. Fold-down posts are anchored to concrete or a small new pad.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lift out of a shallow socket and lock in place. Simple and low cost to fit, but must be stored when out. |
| Finishes | Black, grey, yellow or stainless finishes, with reflective bands so visitors see the post at night. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
What moves the price in Bridlington

Do I need two posts for two cars?
Not always. On a narrow drive where one car parks behind the other, one post at the front may be enough. On a wide drive with cars side by side, two posts are usually needed to block both.
Will fitting a post damage my block paving?
Only a small area is lifted and the original blocks are relaid around the post. Done carefully, the repair is hard to spot. Resin and imprinted drives show patching more.
