What we check first in Bognor Regis
In Bognor Regis, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from West Sussex County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Bognor Regis 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 Arun 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. Shopfronts often sit over cellars, coal holes, vaults and service entries, so what lies under the pavement can be more complicated than it looks.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
- If an insurer has asked for protection, confirm what standard or product they expect before ordering.
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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Stainless or decorative covers | Covers over steel cores for shopping streets and branded frontages where plain steel would look out of place. |
What affects the quote
When we price ram-raid bollards in Bognor Regis, these make the biggest difference:
- Out-of-hours working to avoid closing the shop
- Covers and finishes for shopping streets
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
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. 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 Bognor Regis, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

We cover all of Bognor Regis (PO21 and PO22) and the rest of West Sussex. We also work in Chichester, Littlehampton and Worthing.
Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Bognor Regis?

What's a typical price for ram-raid bollards in Bognor Regis?
In Bognor Regis, typically £415–£1,595 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £995 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
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.
