Before we dig in Harrogate
In Harrogate, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from North Yorkshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Harrogate 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 North Yorkshire 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
Installation, step by step
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.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |

Looking after them
Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike. A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced.
For damaged or loose posts in Harrogate, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
Are wheel stops enough on their own?
Wheel stops help drivers judge where to stop but a car can mount them with a firm press on the accelerator. Used with bollards, they reduce daily knocks on the posts. On their own they are not a barrier.
