Rules for ram-raid bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.

How installation works
Agree the post type and positions
We agree unrated or tested posts with you, your landlord and any insurer or security adviser involved. A fixed written quote sets out the positions, foundations and reinstatement.
Arrange consents
If the posts will stand on public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed before work starts. Landlord consent is usually needed for leased units.
Excavate and set the posts
Each position is hand-dug near services and taken to depth, then the post is set plumb in a reinforced concrete base. Work is planned around trading hours where possible.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.

How many bollards does a shopfront need?
Enough to leave no gap a car could pass through across the vulnerable part of the frontage. For a typical small shop that is often three to five posts, but it depends on the frontage width and where a vehicle could approach from. The survey sets the number.
Will bollards spoil the look of the shop?
They change the frontage, but stainless or powder-coated finishes in shopfront colours can make them look deliberate rather than defensive. Many shopping streets already have similar posts, so new ones can be matched to what is there.
