Consents, ground and services in Tewkesbury
Gloucestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Tewkesbury's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Tewkesbury) first — we flag this at survey.
Car park edges and walkways tend to be built quickly over shallow hardcore, and their kerb lines often carry lighting cables, drainage channels and ducts for EV chargers or signs. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
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.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
What affects the quote
Two Tewkesbury jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
Looking after them
If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Tewkesbury.
Questions about pedestrian protection bollards in Tewkesbury
Which parts of Tewkesbury do you cover for pedestrian protection bollards?
We cover all of Tewkesbury (GL20) and the rest of Gloucestershire. We also work in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Tewkesbury?
The highway authority for local roads in Tewkesbury is Gloucestershire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Pedestrian protection bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Tewkesbury?
In Tewkesbury, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our South West guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
