Permissions and groundwork in Hebburn
South Tyneside Council is the highway authority covering Hebburn's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (South Tyneside Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Reinstatement keeps walkways level and flush, because a trip edge around a new post in a busy car park creates the very hazard the posts are meant to reduce. 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
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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
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 |
|---|---|
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
What moves the price in Hebburn
Our North East guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Hebburn firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
Looking after them
Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right. 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 Hebburn, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

In Hebburn, typically £235–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £565 plus VAT, using our North East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
