Consents, ground and services in Banstead
In Banstead, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Banstead 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 Reigate and Banstead before posts go in.
On tarmac, a small concrete pad or a socket base cast in concrete is the reliable option. Multi-storey and rooftop decks are a special case: slabs may be post-tensioned or carry waterproofing and heating, so drilling depth and positions are agreed with the building owner and scanned first.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
How the job runs
Survey traffic movements
The free site survey looks at vehicle sizes, turning paths and where drivers currently clip posts or kerbs. You receive a fixed written quote with post type and fixing.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
| Low-profile deck bases | Shallow fixings for multi-storey decks where deep drilling is not permitted. |
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
