Skip Hire in Stansted Mountfitchet: what to know
Stansted Mountfitchet is a large village in Uttlesford beside the M11 and Stansted Airport, with older terraces and cottages on the hills around Lower Street and Chapel Hill and newer estates such as Foresthall Park and Walpole Meadows. There is no Essex recycling centre in the village: the nearest are Saffron Walden (about 10 miles) and Harlow (about 13 miles).
Building in Stansted Mountfitchet has shifted to the north of the village, where around 420 further homes are being promoted along High Lane and beside Walpole Meadows, following the earlier Foresthall Park and Elms Farm schemes. The parish has about 140 listed buildings, two scheduled monuments and three protected lanes, so heritage checks are routine for renovation near Lower Street, Chapel Hill and Silver Street, where the older roads offer limited kerbside space for a skip. Houses on the 1950s to 1970s estates are a common setting for extensions and loft conversions.
Skips on the road in Stansted Mountfitchet. A driveway skip needs no paperwork; a road skip needs a licence before it's delivered. Essex Highways issues skip licences here, not the district council. Only the skip company can apply, so we do it for you. Allow 10 working days for a new licence. Size limit on the road: 6-yard maximum on the highway; anything bigger needs a driveway or private land. Enquire online and we'll confirm the permit price for your street before you book.
Will a skip fit? A lot of Stansted Mountfitchet is terraced streets with no driveways, so a skip has to sit on the road under licence, or the waste goes straight onto a truck instead. If you're not sure, send us a photo of the spot. Where a skip won't go, a wait and load in Stansted Mountfitchet costs about the same and needs no permit.
