Consents, ground and services in Cheadle Hulme
The highway authority for local roads in Cheadle Hulme is Stockport 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.
If your site in Cheadle Hulme is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Stockport Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size. 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.
- 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.

Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?

Not usually. They deal with low-speed driver errors, so firmly founded steel posts often suffice. Where an owner, insurer or designer wants proven performance, PAS 170-1 tested products are the usual choice.
