Rules in Daventry

  • West Northamptonshire Council's licence costs £27 per week for a skip on the footway, verge or carriageway edge.
  • Only a licensed skip company can apply, as members of the public can't apply to the council directly.
  • You can keep the skip as long as you need, and the skip company arranges any extension.
  • Skips in pedestrian areas of larger towns carry an extra weekly fee on top of the licence.
  • On the highway, the skip company supplies and maintains the lights and any cones the licence requires.

Getting a skip in Daventry

Daventry's historic core around High Street, Market Place, New Street and Sheaf Street is a conservation area, with many listed buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries. If your Sheaf Street townhouse has no space off the street, your skip goes on the road under West Northamptonshire Council's weekly licence. Market Square has a controlled parking zone, so name your street when you book. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the road than a bigger skip.

On the Southbrook Estate, built from 1966, short terraces are grouped around cul-de-sacs. If your terrace has nowhere off the road for a skip, it needs the licence, and the skip company supplies its night lights. Up on Borough Hill, Borough Road, The Inlands and Hilltop have New Town era semis and detached family homes on raised ground. Where yours has room on the drive, the skip needs no licence at all. Heavy soil or rubble belongs in a 6 yard builders skip or smaller.

Not every job needs a skip in Daventry. The tip on Browns Road, off Staverton Road, recycles plasterboard, but you must book a visit and a hired van needs an e-permit. For four to six large items, the council's £55 collection is simpler than a skip. A kitchen strip-out or full clear-out suits a skip better, with a 6 yard builders skip for rubble or an 8 yard large for lighter mixed waste.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Daventry?
Only if it goes on the highway, meaning the footway, verge or edge of the road. Then the skip company applies to West Northamptonshire Council for a licence at £27 per week. A skip within your property boundary, such as on your drive, needs none.
Can a skip go on Sheaf Street in Daventry's conservation area?
It can, under the council's weekly licence if your townhouse has no space off the street. Sheaf Street sits in the historic core's conservation area, and the council has a controlled parking zone for Market Square, so give the skip company your exact street when you book.
Is Daventry's Browns Road tip better than a skip for small jobs?
It can be, for a car boot of DIY waste or plasterboard. You must book before you go, the site has a 3.5 tonne vehicle limit and a hired van needs an e-permit. Once the job means several trips, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi saves the driving.
Are a few big items in NN11 a job for the council's collection?
Up to six are. West Northamptonshire's bulky waste collection takes 4 to 6 items for £55, with the date arranged when you book. For a sofa, wardrobe and a few others, that's simpler than a skip. If you're also clearing bags of mixed rubbish, a 4 yard midi takes the lot.
Is Daventry Reservoir a conservation area?
Daventry Reservoir is a conservation area with its own character appraisal, separate from the historic core around High Street and Sheaf Street. A skip on your own land needs no licence, while one on the road needs the weekly licence the skip company arranges.
