Consents, ground and services in Chepstow
In Chepstow the highway authority for local roads is Monmouthshire County Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because removable bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
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 (Monmouthshire County Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Removable bollards need modest depth, which makes them one of the easier bollards to fit around services. The critical details are level and drainage.
- Check whether the location is public highway; a highway authority agreement is usually needed there.
- Fit reflective or contrasting bands near the top so posts are visible when in place.
What happens on site
Agree who will lift the post
At the free site survey we talk through who will remove the post, how often and where it will be stored. That decides material, diameter and lock, and goes into a fixed written quote.
Set the socket flush
The socket is set in concrete with its rim exactly at finished surface level and to the fall of the ground, so the lid sits flat and nothing catches on it.
Reinstate around the socket
Block paving, tarmac or flags are cut tight to the collar and made good. On resin or bound surfaces, the edge is sealed neatly.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Socket lids | Spring-closing, hinged or lockable lids that sit flush when the post is removed, so there is no open hole. |
| Diameter and height | Commonly 76–140 mm diameter and around 900–1,000 mm high, chosen to suit visibility and handling. |
| Locking type | Triangular or square key, padlock, or integral keyed cylinder. Keyed-alike locks let one key open every post on a site. |

Looking after them
If a socket has worked loose in the surface, re-bed it before the lid edge becomes a trip hazard. Check the lid springs and hinges.

It can if water sits in the socket and freezes around the post. Good drainage at the socket base is the main defence. A little lubricant on the post and lifting it out occasionally in winter also helps.
