Consents, ground and services in Goole
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is the highway authority covering Goole's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
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 (East Riding of Yorkshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Timber bollards usually go into soft landscape, so the ground varies more than with paved sites. Turf around new posts is reinstated and, on sites used by mowers, posts are spaced so equipment can pass.
- Leave pedestrian gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm, and wider at path entrances used by cycles, buggies and mobility scooters, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Keep emergency vehicle access available, using a removable or hinged post where a route must open.
What happens on site
Survey the setting
A free site survey looks at the ground, drainage, tree roots, how vehicles currently get onto the land and how the site looks. You receive a fixed written quote with species, size and fixing.
Set out the line
Posts are set out at spacings that stop cars passing between them while leaving gaps for walkers, buggies and wheelchairs.
Set the posts
Posts are set plumb and to a consistent height, backfilled with compacted stone or concreted with a shaped top. Cut softwood ends are re-treated.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sizes and profiles | Commonly 100–200 mm square or round, with chamfered, pyramid or domed tops to shed water. |
| Reflective bands and studs | Reflective bands, white painted tops or inset studs so posts are visible on unlit sites. |
| Tropical hardwood | Very dense and long-lasting in ground contact. Specify certified sustainable sources. |
What affects the quote
When we price timber bollards in Goole, these make the biggest difference:
- Species: treated softwood, oak or tropical hardwood
- Number of posts and length of the line
- Removable or hinged posts for access
After installation
Replacing individual damaged posts is straightforward if the original size and species are recorded. Inspect posts at ground level, where rot starts, by probing for soft wood.
If posts in Goole are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
