Tiptree is a large village in the Colchester district, home of the Wilkin & Sons jam factory, made up mostly of post-war estates and bungalows off Church Road, Maldon Road and Kelvedon Road. It has no recycling centre of its own: the nearest are Colchester's at Shrub End and Witham's on Perry Road, each roughly 7 miles away.
New housing in Tiptree is concentrated on its edges. A 200-home scheme at Barbrook Lane was allowed on appeal, 130 homes were permitted off Kelvedon Road in 2022, and nine homes were later proposed at Highlands on Kelvedon Road. The neighbourhood plan is intended to guide around 400 further homes. Within the village, bungalows and detached houses on roads such as Newbridge Road and Oak Road lend themselves to extensions and loft conversions. Where a driveway is available a skip can stand off the road; parking on Church Road, the village centre, is limited.
RoRo containers need hard standing and about 40 feet of straight access for the hook-loader. Around Tiptree that usually means a yard, a compound or a car park: Church Road, Maldon Road and Kelvedon Road are the kind of sites they suit. Villages and farm tracks around Tiptree can be narrow, so we check the access on a map before we set off and bring the right size of vehicle.
They can't go on the public road: licences from Essex County Council cover builders' skips only. A RoRo always sits on private land.
