Permissions and groundwork in Chepstow
In Chepstow 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.
Many private-land installations in Chepstow 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 Monmouthshire County Council before posts go in.
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. Positions are scanned and hand-dug before committing, and foundations are sized for the ground found rather than a fixed hole size.
- 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.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Options to consider
| 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 Chepstow
Two Chepstow 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
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
Looking after them
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. Keep a simple note of strikes and their locations; over a year it shows which parts of the car park drivers find awkward, which is useful when the site is next resurfaced or re-lined.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Chepstow.

Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?
Often, yes, where people queue or sit beside the lane. Posts should follow the curve of the lane and be closest together at corners, where drivers tend to misjudge the turn. The positions are agreed on site with the operator.
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.
