Consents, ground and services in Banstead
In Banstead, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Surrey County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Banstead 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 the council for Reigate and Banstead before posts go in.
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. Where bollards protect a shopfront, the building's own foundations and any canopy columns may sit close to the line, which limits how deep and wide each base can go.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
From survey to handover
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Banstead

- Number of posts and length of line
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
Keeping them working
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. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
If posts in Banstead are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
Questions about pedestrian protection bollards in Banstead
Can you install pedestrian protection bollards anywhere in Banstead?
We cover all of Banstead (SM7 and KT20) and the rest of Surrey. We also work in Ewell, Epsom and Sutton.
Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Banstead?
Surrey County Council is the highway authority covering Banstead's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Banstead?
In Banstead, typically £285–£1,395 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £675 plus VAT, using our London guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Our outdoor seating faces the car park: what should we do?
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.
Do pedestrian protection bollards need to be crash-rated?
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.
