Check the authority rather than the county label
For public-road placement, use the full postcode and proposed position to find the responsible authority. Do not automatically apply Lancashire County Council's process to a Blackburn with Darwen address.
Show the narrow parts of the approach
Provide gate measurements and pictures of rear lanes or shared entrances. The operator needs room to lift safely, not just space for the container to stand.
