Consents, ground and services in Milford Haven
Local roads and pavements in Milford Haven are the responsibility of Pembrokeshire County Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
Many private-land installations in Milford Haven 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 Pembrokeshire 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.
- 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.
What happens on site
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
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.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Milford Haven
Two Milford Haven jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
Keeping them working
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
If posts in Milford Haven are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
