Getting a skip in Ferndown

Homes across Ferndown, Heatherlands included, are mostly detached houses and bungalows on generous plots from the mid-to-late 20th century. Parking is mixed, so check your drive first. A skip on your own drive needs no permit. Around Golf Links Road, Dudsbury Road and Woodland Walk, big plots come with mature trees and shrubs, so tell the skip company about low branches over the drive. An 8 yard large suits a full bungalow clear-out, and a 6 yard builders takes soil or rubble from an old patio.

In Ferndown town centre, Victoria Road is getting planting beds and bollards along the pavement edge to stop parking on the footway. A skip outside a shop or home there belongs on the road, which stays open through the works. On Church Road, double yellow lines are proposed near the crossings, so tell the skip company exactly where you want it. A 4 yard midi takes up less road space than a bigger skip. Anywhere in Ferndown, Heatherlands or West Parley, a skip on the street needs Dorset Council's licence, and the skip company applies at least 2 weeks ahead.

Land east of New Road in West Parley, Ferndown, has 386 new homes approved, built in phases. If you're moving in there, a 2 yard mini takes the boxes and a first garden tidy. A few bags of rubble from a Ferndown or Heatherlands garden are often better at the Wimborne tip on Brook Road, which charges per bag and needs a booked slot. For a whole garden of soil, a 6 yard builders skip is the largest size to use.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Ferndown?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. On your drive it needs nothing. For the road, the skip company applies for Dorset Council's licence, £84 for 28 days, and must apply at least 2 weeks before delivery.
Is there a conservation area in Ferndown or West Parley?
None. The council found no area of Ferndown and West Parley significant enough to designate. Some streets, such as Golf Links Road, Beaufoys Avenue and Chine Walk, still have a special character from spacious plots and mature trees.
Can a skip go on Victoria Road in Ferndown town centre?
It can go on the road with a licence, not the pavement. Bollards and planting beds are going in along the footway to stop parking there, but vehicle access and business deliveries stay open. The road also stays open during the works.
Is the Wimborne tip better than a skip for BH22 rubble?
For a few bags, usually. Wimborne Recycling Centre on Brook Road takes rubble for a small charge per bag or item. You need to book a slot before you go. For a patio or garden wall, a 6 yard builders skip is easier.
What size skip suits a new home east of New Road, West Parley?
A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi usually covers moving boxes and packaging. The New Road scheme is 386 homes built in phases, with 238 in the first phase, so building will carry on nearby for some years.
