Our own total of the Valuation Office stock table CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025, across the four Borehamwood census areas is 15,090 properties. 250 of them, 1.7 per cent, were built before 1919 and 1,410, 9.3 per cent, before 1940. 5,180, 34.3 per cent, went up in the single 1945 to 1954 band and 48.8 per cent between 1945 and 1972, with 21.1 per cent from 2000 onwards. The published Hertsmere row in the same table is 45,920 properties.
Census 2021 table TS044 records 32.4 per cent of Hertsmere households in semi detached houses, 26.3 per cent in purpose built flats, 20.4 per cent terraced and 18.7 per cent detached. In Borehamwood Cowley Hill the flat share is 40.4 per cent, with 39.6 per cent of households in social rented housing (TS054).
Those tables record construction and accommodation, not tree age, size or who owns the ground. We would build a householder page and a separate page for agents and housing providers, each with its own enquiry route.

Trees assessed for condition and the work proposed on the visit itself.
Hertsmere Borough Council states it directly: "In order to work on a tree in a conservation area you are required to give six weeks' written notice describing what you want to do." It sets out its three options on receiving one: make an order if that is justified in the interests of amenity, decide not to make one and let the six week period expire, or decide not to make one and write to tell the applicant the work can go ahead. It states the exemption too: "You do not need to give notice of work to trees that have a stem diameter of less than 7.5cm measured at 1.5m above the ground (or 10cm if thinning to help the growth of other trees)."
On penalties the council says that felling a conservation area tree without consent, or damaging it in a manner likely to destroy it, could mean an unlimited fine, and that other work such as pruning without consent could lead to a fine of up to 2,500 pounds. On orders it says an order makes it an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or wilfully destroy a protected tree without its permission, that a tree that is dead or dangerous cannot be protected by an order, and that where appropriate it can serve an order lasting 6 months before a decision on making it permanent. Its conservation areas page states that there are 15 conservation areas in Hertsmere.
Nationally, gov.uk describes the requirement for "people to notify the local planning authority, using a section 211 notice, 6 weeks before carrying out certain work on such trees, unless an exception applies", and says the work may go ahead sooner where the authority gives consent. The same guidance states that consent "is needed for carrying out work on diseased and/or dying trees unless some other exemption applies".
We would explain how you check the conservation area boundary, any tree preservation order and the proposed work before confirming whether a section 211 notice or consent is needed.
The local field, 16 September 2026
We counted the Google Maps results for tree surgeons in Borehamwood on 16 September 2026. The sample was 40 listings. Seven of them are tree firms with a Borehamwood address, six of those seven have a website and one has none. Four of the 40 are gardeners or landscapers rather than tree firms, two are firms of national reach counted separately, and the remaining 27 are tree firms based elsewhere, most of them in Barnet, Edgware, Bushey, Watford and north London.
That is one dated sample of one search. What we would do with it is give Cowley Hill, Brookmeadow, Hillside and Kenilworth a page each, with an agents and housing providers page beside the householder one.
