Consents, ground and services in Bradford
The highway authority for local roads in Bradford is Bradford Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Pedestrian protection bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Bradford is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bradford Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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.
- 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
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.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
What affects the quote
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Bradford firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
After installation
A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced. If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly.
If posts in Bradford are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
