Consents, ground and services in Stourbridge
Dudley Council is the highway authority covering Stourbridge's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (Dudley Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Check who owns the ground in front of the shop; if it is public highway, the highway authority's agreement is needed.
How the job runs
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.
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.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
What affects the quote
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Stourbridge firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Removable positions and their locks
After installation
Check them after any knock, because a post that has been hit may have cracked its foundation even if it still looks straight. Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free.
For damaged or loose posts in Stourbridge, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

What is PAS 170-1 and do I need it?

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.
