Skips and Building Materials
Applying For a Skip
Licence or Permit
Three days' notice is required for a skip
permit. Large scale projects may also need planning permission and
be required to meet building regulations.
The conditions of a licence are to ensure that the skip
is placed for a minimum period of time, emptied frequently, made
safe at night and not used for storage of hazardous/dangerous
materials or for fly tipping. They must also not be overloaded or
the skip company will not remove them.
We do not issue licences to individuals. Instead, we licence skip
companies. You can download our list of approved skip companies.
If you are a company and would like to join the Council's list of
skip providers, you can download an
approved skip company application
form.
If you are a company, you may also need to download an
application for a permit to deposit skips on the
