Consents, ground and services in Abergavenny
In Abergavenny the highway authority for local roads is Monmouthshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
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 (Monmouthshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
How the job runs
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.
Agree a plan for live trading
Work is phased so entrances and walkways stay open, with each section fenced while it is dug and set. Busy sites often prefer early starts or quieter weekdays.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
What moves the price in Abergavenny
Two Abergavenny jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Abergavenny.

Put a line of posts between the seating and the nearest parking or driving lane, with gaps narrow enough to stop a car. Positions should allow for cars that overshoot a bay. It is worth recording the decision in your risk assessment.
