Permissions and groundwork in Selby
North Yorkshire Council is the highway authority covering Selby'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 (North Yorkshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Domestic drives hide more than people expect. Clay soils hold water, so a telescopic or semi-automatic cassette there needs a proper soakaway or a connection to a surface water drain, never the foul drain.
- 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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes | Black, grey, yellow or stainless finishes, with reflective bands so visitors see the post at night. |
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
Pricing driveway security posts in Selby
When we price driveway security posts in Selby, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts for the cars on the drive
- Drive surface and how visible a repair will be
- Drainage for telescopic and semi-automatic cassettes
Looking after them
With telescopic and semi-automatic posts, lift the lid every few months and check the cassette is not holding water or silt. Keep a spare key somewhere safe away from the car keys.
If posts in Selby are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Selby?
In Selby, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from North Yorkshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.

In Selby, typically £375–£815 per post, supplied and installed, including VAT, with a minimum job of £375 plus VAT, using our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
