Rules for semi-automatic bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. 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
Survey use and ground
At the free site survey we look at how often the post will be used, who will operate it and what is under the surface. A fixed written quote follows, including drainage.
Excavate the pit
The surface is cut and the pit dug to the cassette depth plus a drainage layer, by hand near services.
Set the cassette
The cassette is set plumb and flush with the finished surface, connected to drainage and concreted in. The strut is fitted or released only as the manufacturer instructs.
Reinstate the surface
Paving or surfacing is made good tight to the cassette collar so there is no lip for tyres or feet to catch.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Lincolnshire?
For local roads, Lincolnshire County Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and North Lincolnshire Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Do semi-automatic bollards suit domestic driveways?
Yes, if the owner wants less lifting than a telescopic post. The same depth and drainage checks apply. Domestic models are lighter duty than commercial ones.
How is a semi-automatic bollard different from an automatic one?
An automatic bollard is powered and controlled by a panel, loops and access devices. A semi-automatic one rises on its own when unlocked but must be pushed down by hand. It needs no electrics, which keeps installation simpler.
