Can I put a skip on a private street without a licence?
Not automatically. West Sussex distinguishes private gated roads without public rights of way from other private streets.
Skip hire in Chichester
For a Chichester skip booking, settle the position early. A driveway, a road bay and a privately owned street can involve different permissions, even when the waste and container are identical.

What are you clearing?
Rough amount
Consider smaller project alternatives
For a suitable load, Chichester's council bulky bag may be another option. Check address availability and lifting access against its current conditions; do not assume a bag can be placed anywhere a person can carry it.

Check public access on a private street
West Sussex says a private street with public rights of way can still require a skip licence. Ask the operator to assess the actual location rather than assuming private ownership removes the need.
Resolve a controlled parking bay first
The county's guidance requires the relevant bay suspension before it can process a skip licence for a controlled parking zone. Discuss the position and permissions before choosing delivery dates.

Is a suspended bay enough on its own?
The skip operator must also confirm the required licence and conditions for the position.
Can a bulky bag replace any skip?
No. Compare materials, capacity, weight and collection access against the specific bag service before deciding.
