Rules for fold-down parking posts in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Survey the bay
A free site survey looks at the surface, the bay layout and where wheels run. You receive a fixed written quote for the posts, locks and any concrete pad.
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.
Check operation
The post is raised, locked, unlocked and folded several times, and the folded height is checked against your car's clearance.

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.
Are fold-down posts suitable for EV charging bays?
Yes, they are a common way to keep a charging bay free for the vehicle that needs it. Position the post so it does not interfere with the charging cable route or the charger itself.
