Use Southend's licensing route
Southend requires approval before a skip is placed on its public highway. Only skip companies registered with the council can request its licence; do not assume an Essex County Council application covers it.
Assess a private position properly
Show the gate, standing surface and clearance around the container. Entirely private placement still needs suitable access and permission from the relevant owner.
