- The licence costs £47 and lasts one week, and you can apply for several weeks at once.
- The skip company must apply at least 2 working days before the skip goes on the road.

- A skip in a parking bay needs a paid parking bay suspension first.
- Verges adopted by Cheshire East Highways count as highway, so a skip there needs a licence too.
Getting a skip in Wilmslow
Hawthorn Lane in Wilmslow is lined with late Victorian detached and semi-detached houses set well back in long plots. Bollin Hill has detached houses built between 1921 and 1930 in wooded grounds off Styal Road. Both are conservation areas, and parking on both is mixed. If your drive has room, the skip sits there and you need no licence. Measure it first, since an 8 yard large takes far more space than a 4 yard midi.
Every property on Ladyfield Street, Ladyfield Terrace, Mopmakers Green and Bollin Walk is in Wilmslow's zone L resident parking scheme, and Wycliffe Avenue is in zone B. The Victorian terraces and semis on Manchester Road sit on a main road. Without a drive, your skip goes on the road, and the skip company gets a licence at £47 a week. If it has to stand in a parking bay, a bay suspension is applied for and paid first. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes up the least road space.
The Knutsford tip takes two 50 litre bags of DIY rubble free, which beats a skip for a small patio repair. For a bigger job, a 6 yard builders skip is the largest size for heavy soil and rubble. On Cumber Lane, most of the planned new homes come with a driveway as well as street parking. There, your skip can go on the drive without a licence.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Wilmslow?
- Only if it goes on the road, pavement or an adopted verge. The skip company applies to Cheshire East for a licence at £47 a week, at least 2 working days ahead. A skip put out without one costs a charge on top of the application fee.
- Can a skip go outside my house on Ladyfield Street?
- It can, with a road licence. Ladyfield Street is in Wilmslow's zone L resident parking scheme, along with Ladyfield Terrace, Mopmakers Green and Bollin Walk. If the skip has to sit in a parking bay, a paid bay suspension is needed first.
- Will two bags of SK9 patio rubble go to the Knutsford tip?
- They will, at no charge. Knutsford takes small amounts of DIY rubble, two 50 litre bags or one bulky item. Drive a van, pickup or commercial 4x4 and you need a household waste permit first. For a whole patio, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi is easier.
- Should three old chairs from a Dean Row house go to the council?
- The council's bulky collection suits one to three items, at £50.84. Cheshire East collects within 20 working days of payment, so plan ahead. If you're clearing a whole room in Dean Row too, a 4 yard midi takes the chairs and everything else at once.
- What size skip fits a Hawthorn Lane house clearance?
- A 12 yard maxi suits clearing one of Hawthorn Lane's detached or semi-detached houses. They sit well back in long plots, but parking is mixed, so check your drive has room. On your own land the skip needs no licence.
