Permissions and groundwork in Hull
In Hull, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Hull City Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Hull 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 Hull City Council before posts go in.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. 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.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
Installation, step by step
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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
What affects the quote
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Hull firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
Keeping them working
If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly. Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement.
If posts in Hull are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Hull?

Will bollards block trolleys?
They should not if gaps are planned for trolleys and wheelchairs. Main routes to trolley bays need wider openings. We set gaps to suit the way the site works.
How far from the kerb should car park bollards go?
Far enough back that parked bumpers do not hit them, but not so far that they narrow the walkway. That distance depends on the bay length and kerb height. We set it on site with the layout in front of us.
