Skip Licences
Under Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980, a skip licence is required to place a builder’s skip on the public highway. Skip licenses are issued for a maximum of six weeks (depending on the location or suspension of parking bays etc).
The Licensing Service is responsible for the issuing of skip licences.
How do I apply for a skip licence?
Only registered skip companies will be able to apply for licences in Hackney (see below for a full list of registered companies).
Please contact the Licensing Service using the details to the right for more information about applying for a licence.
Placement of skips
If a skip needs to be placed in a pay and display, shared use, business, residents or any other designated parking bay, permission will need to be sought from the Parking Service. They can be contacted on 020 8356 8877.
The Council cannot issue skip licences on any part of the Priority “Red Route" network - you will need to seek approval from Transport for London (TfL). They can be contacted on 0845 305 1234, or visit: www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers.
Also, the Licensing Service cannot issue licences for skips that are to be placed on Housing Estates. Permission is required from the relevant Neighbourhood Office.
If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us using the details at the top-right corner of this page.
