Saffron Walden is a medieval market town and the administrative centre of Uttlesford, with narrow streets and timber-framed buildings around the Market Square and newer estates along Radwinter Road, Thaxted Road and Ashdon Road. Shire Hill is the main industrial estate, and the town's recycling centre is on Thaxted Road.
New housing in Saffron Walden is concentrated on the eastern and south-eastern sides: a 200-home estate off Radwinter Road was built from 2017, plans followed for a further 233 homes to its south, and 168 homes have reserved matters approval on Thaxted Road. In the centre, most projects fall within the conservation area, designated in 1968, where consent governs alterations to listed properties in streets such as Castle Street and Gold Street. Many of these streets have on-street or permit parking, and Market Place is occupied by stalls on Tuesdays and Saturdays, restricting skip and lorry positions.
The grab reaches about 6 metres from where the lorry stands, so the pile can stay on the drive, the front garden or the verge. On Saffron Walden's terraced streets there's rarely a drive, so the truck stops in the road, right by the front door. Send a photo of the pile and the road and we'll confirm the lorry can get in.
Nothing sits on the public road, so no licence from Essex County Council is needed, and there's no 10 working days wait.
