You need to buy a permit to put a skip on a public road where parking restrictions apply.
This includes:
- Double yellow lines
- Paid parking zones, e.g. pay and display
- Clearways
It may take up to 7 working days to process your application, depending on where your skip is to be located.
You do not need a permit if you want to put a skip on a road with no parking restrictions – provided that the skip is placed in a safe manner and vehicular access is maintained (minimum of 3 metres in width retained).
For any further information, please contact the Roadworks Control Unit on 01 222 2246.
Note: You must submit this form every time you want a skip permit (there are no automatic renewals).
