Rules for lighting bollards 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
Set the bases
Anchor cages or foundations are cast at each position with the cable entry in the right place, set level so each bollard stands plumb.
Electrical connection
A qualified electrician installs the circuit protection, makes the connections in weatherproof enclosures and fits controls such as a photocell or timer.
Test, aim and certify
The circuit is tested and certified, bollards are checked at night for coverage and glare, and asymmetric heads are turned to face the path.
Reinstate
Trenches are backfilled and surfaces made good, whether paving, tarmac, gravel or turf.

The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Staffordshire?
For local roads, Staffordshire County Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Can bollard lights work on a timer or motion sensor?
Yes. Photocells switch them on at dusk, timers switch them off or dim them late at night and motion sensors bring them up when someone approaches. Combining controls saves energy and reduces light pollution.
How far apart should lighting bollards be?
That depends on the light output, beam pattern and how evenly the path needs to be lit. Spacing is worked out from the product's light data rather than a fixed distance. Too far apart leaves dark patches between pools of light.
