Consents, ground and services in Goole
In Goole, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Goole 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 East Riding of Yorkshire Council before posts go in.
Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks. Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
Installation, step by step
Look at how a vehicle would approach
At the free site survey we look at where a vehicle could reverse from, the kerb line, the forecourt and the frontage construction. Ownership of the pavement in front of the shop is checked at the same time.
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.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
| Crash-rated bollards | Tested to IWA 14-1, ISO 22343-1 or PAS 68 for high-value premises or where a vehicle could build up speed. |
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
Pricing ram-raid bollards in Goole
When we price ram-raid bollards in Goole, these make the biggest difference:
- Removable positions and their locks
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
Keeping them working
Keep visibility bands clean, repaint chips before rust sets in on steel, and keep locks on removable posts lubricated so staff can actually use them. Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Goole.

Can bollards go on the pavement outside my shop?
Only if you own the ground or have the highway authority's agreement. Many shop frontages include a strip of private forecourt, which is simpler. We check ownership as part of the survey.
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.
