Rules for driveway security posts in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. 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
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.
Cut the surface
Block paving is lifted carefully for reuse; tarmac, concrete or resin is cut neatly to keep the patch as small as possible.
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.
Make good and show you
The surface is reinstated and cleaned. We show you how to lock, lower and raise the post and hand over the keys.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in North Lanarkshire?

Where should a driveway security post go?
Close enough in front of the car, or between it and the road, that the car cannot be driven round it. We mark the position with your car in place during the survey. Sloping drives and wide frontages may change the obvious spot.
Which type of post is right for my driveway?
Telescopic if you want a flush, tidy finish and will use it daily, provided the ground can be dug and drained. Fold-down if digging is not possible or the drive is concrete. Removable if the post will only be used occasionally and you have somewhere to store it.
