Rules for removable bollards in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Cut and excavate
A small square of surface is cut out and excavated to socket depth, with a bed of free-draining stone at the bottom so water can leave the socket.
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.
Fit posts and hand over keys
Posts are fitted and locked, and the lift-out and refit routine is checked on site. Keys and any storage brackets are handed over.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Perth and Kinross?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Perth and Kinross Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Will a removable bollard freeze in place?
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.
What happens to the hole when the bollard is out?
A lid on the socket closes over it so the surface is flush. Spring-closing lids shut automatically when the post is lifted. That stops trips and keeps debris out.
