How much does a skip permit cost in Calne?
What The Permit Covers
With under 3 working days' notice it costs £164.70 instead. The licence is valid for four weeks; if works continue beyond that, a new licence at the same fee must be applied for before the current one expires. This is a flat highway licence rate, not specific to skips: the same rate also applies to scaffolding and hoarding, building materials, and cherry pickers or cranes.
How Long Does It Take To Get A Skip Permit?
How much notice Wiltshire Council needs is set by them, and we publish a figure only where we have read one on their own page. Where they do state a notice period it is shown above, under what the permit covers. Apply as early as you can, and ask your skip hire company first, as most of them handle the application for you.
Check with Wiltshire Council for the latest permit prices and specific requirements for your location.
