Permissions and groundwork in Selby
North Yorkshire Council is the highway authority covering Selby's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Selby is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Yorkshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. We hand-dig near known services, adjust positions if a vault or duct is found, and reinstate the surface to match, whether that is slabs, block paving, asphalt or a sealed forecourt finish.
- Check who owns the ground in front of the shop; if it is public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
How the job runs
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
What moves the price in Selby
Two Selby jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
After installation
Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free. If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point.
If posts in Selby are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
What is PAS 170-1 and do I need it?
PAS 170-1 is a standard for testing vehicle security barriers against low-speed impacts. It suits ram-raid risks where someone has asked for tested performance, such as an insurer or security adviser. If nobody has asked for a tested product, a well-founded unrated post is often adequate.
