Permissions and groundwork in Mangotsfield
South Gloucestershire Council is the highway authority covering Mangotsfield's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Mangotsfield 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 South Gloucestershire Council before posts go in.
Where bollards protect a shopfront, the building's own foundations and any canopy columns may sit close to the line, which limits how deep and wide each base can go. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
What moves the price in Mangotsfield
Two Mangotsfield jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Number of posts and length of line
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
After installation
Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike. Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right.
If posts in Mangotsfield are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
