Rules for shallow-mount 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. Crash ratings (ISO 22343-1, or the superseded but still accepted PAS 68 and IWA 14-1) only hold when the product is installed to its tested foundation.

How installation works
Confirm the system with the manufacturer
The survey findings go back to the manufacturer and the client's adviser to confirm the system, its layout and any end details. A fixed written quote follows the free site survey.
Cut and excavate the trench
Paving is lifted and kept for reuse where possible, and a shallow trench is excavated by hand near known services. Where a service sits higher than expected, work stops and the detail is referred back.
Assemble and level the frame
Frame sections are placed, joined and set to line and level, with posts fixed as the drawing shows. Joints and fixings are photographed before any concrete goes in.
Pour, cure and reinstate
Concrete is placed to the specified grade and finish depth, then the surface is rebuilt to match. The line is protected until the specified curing period has passed.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in North Yorkshire?
For local roads, City of York Council, Middlesbrough Council, North Yorkshire Council, Redcar and Cleveland Council and Stockton-on-Tees Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Can I install a single shallow-mount bollard on its own?
Usually not. Most shallow systems rely on several posts working together, and the rating applies to a tested run with a stated minimum number of posts. A single position generally needs a different solution.
What if a service turns out to be higher than the records show?
Work stops at that position and the finding goes back to the manufacturer and your adviser. Sometimes the frame can be adjusted within tested limits; sometimes the utility has to be lowered or the line moved. We do not improvise a change to a rated foundation on site.
