Permissions and groundwork in West Bridgford
The highway authority for local roads in West Bridgford is Nottinghamshire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Ram-raid bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in West Bridgford 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 the council for Rushcliffe before posts go in.
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. Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
What affects the quote
Our East Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in West Bridgford firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Reinstatement of forecourt or natural stone surfaces
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
Looking after them
If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point. Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight.
If posts in West Bridgford are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

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.
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.
