Camden Council Skip Permit
£160 for 7 days. Required only if the skip is on the public highway, pavement or council-managed land. Set under Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. Among the highest permit fees in London. Camden Council strictly enforces highway placement and may require additional traffic management for placements on red routes. For comparison with other UK councils see the full permits guide.
Skip Hire in Camden: What to Expect
Camden combines high-density inner-London streets with significant residential renovation demand from the prime Hampstead, Belsize Park and Primrose Hill housing stock. The result is consistent year-round pressure on skip placement and pricing.
Camden Council's permit fee of £160 for 7 days is among the highest in the UK and is set under Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. The 7-day duration (vs the 14 days that most non-London councils give) effectively doubles the cost of a long renovation that needs the skip on the highway, because you may need to pay for a second permit to extend.
