Consents, ground and services in Beverley
The highway authority for local roads in Beverley is East Riding of Yorkshire Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Fold-down parking posts 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 Beverley 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 East Riding of Yorkshire Council before posts go in.
Tarmac on its own does not, because the bitumen creeps and the anchors loosen; on tarmac drives a small concrete pad is cut in beneath the post. Where the car park has heating cables or a membrane, the fixing method is agreed before drilling.
- Get the landlord's or management company's agreement before fixing posts in a shared car park.
- Check drilling into car park decks or podium slabs with the building owner, as they may contain tendons or membranes.
How the job runs
Position the post
The post is placed where your car can straddle it when folded, usually central to the bay entrance, so tyres do not run over the hinge every day.
Drill and anchor
Holes are drilled into sound concrete, cleaned, and resin anchors or through-bolts set. On weak tarmac or block paving, a small concrete pad is formed first.
Fit and torque
The base plate is fixed down and bolts tightened to the anchor maker's figure once the resin has cured. Anti-tamper bolt heads or caps can be fitted.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Finishes and visibility | Yellow, black or grey powder coat, with reflective bands so the raised post is visible at night. |
| Padlocked posts | Simple and easy to rekey by changing the padlock. Choose a shrouded padlock to resist bolt croppers. |
| Integral key lock | Built-in cylinder lock with no loose parts; can often be supplied keyed alike across a development. |
What moves the price in Beverley
When we price fold-down parking posts in Beverley, these make the biggest difference:
- Post style: single, T-bar or hoop
- Surface type and whether a concrete pad is needed
- Padlocked, integral-lock or remote-control post
Keeping them working
Replace padlocks that have become stiff or rusty before they seize. If the post has been driven over while upright, check the hinge and base for bending; a bent hinge can stop the post locking upright.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Beverley.

Padlock or integral lock: which is better for a parking post?
An integral lock is neater and has nothing loose to carry or lose, and is harder to tamper with. A padlock is easy to replace if keys go missing. Many residents prefer integral locks for daily use.
Do I need permission to fit a parking post in my bay?
If the car park is shared or managed, you normally need agreement from the landlord or management company. Leases often control alterations to common parts. On your own freehold drive, permission is not usually needed.
