Rules for steel security 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.

How installation works
Break out and excavate
For root-fixed posts, the surface is cut neatly and each hole is dug to depth, by hand near known services. For base plates, the slab is checked for thickness and soundness.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height along the line, and concreted in. Base-plated posts are drilled, anchored with resin and torqued once cured.
Fill and cap
Where specified, posts are filled with concrete and capped so water cannot collect inside the tube.
Reinstate and finish
The surface around each post is made good to match, and reflective bands are fitted. Damaged galvanising from handling is touched up.

What diameter of steel bollard do I need?
Match it to the job. Around 114 mm suits car park walkways and verges; 168 or 219 mm with a heavier wall suits service yards and corners that lorries pass. The survey looks at what is likely to hit the posts.
Will galvanised posts rust?
Hot-dip galvanising protects steel for a long time in normal outdoor conditions. Powder coat over the galvanising adds colour and extra protection. Touch up chips promptly in coastal or heavily salted locations.
