If your skip sits on the public road or pavement in Strabane, you'll need a permit from Derry City and Strabane Council.

Always check with your supplier first.

If you're unsure about specific items, ask before filling the skip.

Question 6

Do I need planning permission for a skip in Strabane?

Accepted Answer

A skip itself doesn't usually require planning permission in Strabane, but you do need a permit if it's on the public road. Private driveways and land don't need permits.
