Permissions and groundwork in Stourport-on-Severn
The highway authority for local roads in Stourport-on-Severn is Worcestershire 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.
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 (the council for Wyre Forest) first — we flag this at survey.
Anchors therefore need sound concrete with enough edge distance; anchoring into thin, cracked or weak surfaces means the base works loose within weeks. Flexible bollards put repeated load on their fixings, because every knock rocks the base.
- 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
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Hand over spares and records
Post and base details are recorded so replacements match, and spare posts can be left on site for busy locations. Staff are shown how a post is swapped on its base.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polyurethane posts | Flex along their length and return to shape. Gentle on vehicles and common in car parks and on forecourts. |
| Colours and reflective sleeves | Yellow, black, red, white or orange, with reflective sleeves for visibility in low light. |
| Sprung-base bollards | A rigid post on a heavy spring or elastomer base that tilts and returns. Looks like a conventional bollard. |
