Consents, ground and services in High Wycombe
In High Wycombe, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Buckinghamshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in High Wycombe is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Buckinghamshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement keeps walkways level and flush, because a trip edge around a new post in a busy car park creates the very hazard the posts are meant to reduce. Raised kerbs also change the picture: a high kerb slows a wheel but does not stop a bumper, so the post still needs to sit within reach of the overhang rather than behind it.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
What happens on site
Watch how the site works
The free site survey looks at where cars park, where people walk and queue, and where incidents or near misses have happened. You receive a fixed written quote with positions marked.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
