• On private land (driveway, garden, private site): no council licence needed.
• If the skip occupies a parking bay, or is in a restricted zone, additional permissions may be needed.

• Skip operator must ensure safe placement, correct lighting/markings, not obstructing traffic/pedestrians (implied via general highways licensing).
• Customers should ensure the operator will meet those safety standards.

• Placing a skip without a valid licence (or failing required conditions) may result in enforcement action by Brent Council.
• Because fees are relatively high, compliance is important.

• While a precise standard timeframe is not detailed, you should allow several working days for Brent Council to process applications, especially if parking suspension or red route is involved.
