Permissions and groundwork in Stourport-on-Severn
Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority covering Stourport-on-Severn's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Stourport-on-Severn 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 Wyre Forest 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.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
- In conservation areas or on listed buildings, ask the local planning authority whether consent is needed.
What happens on site
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.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Finishes and options

| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts and suited to ram-raid risks where a tested product is requested. |
| 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. |

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.
What is PAS 170-1 and do I need it?
PAS 170-1 is a standard for testing vehicle security barriers against low-speed impacts. It suits ram-raid risks where someone has asked for tested performance, such as an insurer or security adviser. If nobody has asked for a tested product, a well-founded unrated post is often adequate.
