Permissions and groundwork in Nuneaton
The highway authority for local roads in Nuneaton is Warwickshire 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (the council for Nuneaton and Bedworth) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
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 |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
What moves the price in Nuneaton
When we price ram-raid bollards in Nuneaton, these make the biggest difference:
- Unrated, PAS 170-1 or crash-rated product
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- 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. Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight.
For damaged or loose posts in Nuneaton, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

Can we still take deliveries through the front?
Yes, if one or more positions are removable. Staff unlock and lift out the post for deliveries, then refit it. The socket is designed to sit flush when the post is out.
