The purpose of a skip permit

Ultimately, permits see to it that skips are positioned right and don’t become an inconvenience or danger. This is to cyclists, pedestrians, or road users. They are also there to ensure skips don’t impede access to anyone’s property. Permits make certain that skips are visible to traffic too. Cones and lights are often necessary for identification, particularly at night. Lastly, a permit ensures you comply with particular size limitations. These can shift depending on a local authority’s conditions.

When it comes to private property like the driveway though, rules could be different. Usually, a permit won’t be necessary on private land. However, it still carries specific conditions homeowners need to follow to avoid legal problems. If it is a shared driveway or allows access to other properties, a permit may become necessary.

Always check

It is vital to note that while a skip on a private property normally doesn’t need a permit, it is always worth it to check with the local council. There could be exceptions or extra regulations to think about.

Think about your skip’s size

If you have sufficient space, putting your skip on a driveway is a logical choice. It provides convenience so you get easy access for filling with waste and don’t usually need a permit. Yet, it’s also vital to think about the size of your skip in relation to the driveway’s size. It needs to fit easily without limiting access to your property, or extending to the public footpath or road. This might necessitate a permit.

Even when you hire a skip to place on private land, there are considerations and requirements to keep in mind. Access is one area. See to it that the skip’s delivery and collection can happen without trespassing on public property or creating disruptions.

Ground conditions is another thing to think about. The land needs to be strong and stable to support the skip’s weight. This is especially important when it’s full. A risk of damage to the ground or pipes underneath may call for protective measures. You may want to think otherwise too if you have an unstable surface like gravel or a decorative surface you don’t want to risk damaging.

Lastly, there is safety. Your skip shouldn’t pose a safety hazard to those who live on or visit the property. Think about neighbours too.
