Permissions and groundwork 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. Flexible bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
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.
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. Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks.
- On public highway, including cycle lane segregation, the highway authority's agreement and specification are needed.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner before fixing.
From survey to handover
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
Fix the bases
Holes are drilled and cleaned, resin anchors or bolts are set and the bases fixed and torqued once cured. Socket bases are set flush in concrete.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
| Bolt-down or socket bases | Bolt-down for existing slabs; socket bases allow posts to be replaced without new fixings. |
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
What affects the quote
Our South East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bognor Regis firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Out-of-hours working in busy car parks
- Polymer posts or sprung-base bollards
- Deck scanning and restrictions on drilling
Looking after them
Clean reflective sleeves so they stay visible, and replace them when they fade or peel. After resurfacing or line repainting, check that the bases were not disturbed or painted over, and that posts still line up with the new markings.
If posts in Bognor Regis are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Common questions

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement 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.
How much do flexible bollards cost in Bognor Regis?
In Bognor Regis, typically £205–£635 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Will a flexible bollard stop a car?
No. It is designed to bend and recover, so a car can push past it. It marks the line and discourages drivers from crossing it. Where a vehicle must be physically stopped, use a rigid bollard.
Can a damaged flexible post be replaced on the same base?
Usually, yes, especially with socket bases designed for it. The post is removed and a new one fitted. If the base itself is damaged or loose, it is re-fixed or replaced at the same time.
