Consents, ground and services in Haverfordwest
Before digging near the kerb in Haverfordwest we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Pembrokeshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Many private-land installations in Haverfordwest 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 Pembrokeshire County Council before posts go in.
Shop forecourts may be thin concrete over old fill, and filling station forecourts carry fuel lines, tank vents and interceptors that must be located precisely before anything is dug. 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.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
- Check who owns the ground in front of the shop; if it is public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed.
From survey to handover
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| 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. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
What moves the price in Haverfordwest
Two Haverfordwest jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Reinstatement of forecourt or natural stone surfaces
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
After installation
If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point. Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free.
If posts in Haverfordwest are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Will bollards stop an ATM being ripped out?
Correctly placed bollards stop a vehicle getting close enough to attach chains or ram the surround. They work alongside the machine's own anchoring and the bank's security measures. Positions need to cover the wall either side of the ATM as well as the front.
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.
