Our own total of the Valuation Office stock table CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025, across the twelve Hemel Hempstead census areas is 41,110 properties. 19,020 of them, 46.3 per cent, were built between 1945 and 1972 and 4,520, 11.0 per cent, before 1940, with 4.7 per cent before 1919. The published Dacorum row in the same table is 67,930 properties, of which 9.8 per cent predate 1919.
Census 2021 table TS044 records 29.8 per cent of Dacorum households in terraced houses, 25.0 per cent semi detached, 21.3 per cent detached and 20.6 per cent in purpose built flats. Across the town the detached share runs from 31.6 per cent in Leverstock Green to 5.1 per cent in Highfield.
Dacorum has 25 conservation areas and Hemel Hempstead Old Town is one of them. We would build the job pages first, removal, crown work, stumps and hedges, then a page that answers the conservation area question for the Old Town addresses.

Dacorum Borough Council states the conservation area rule in its own words: "It's an offence to work on a tree in a conservation area without giving us six weeks' written notice", and explains that "This period allows us to decide if the tree(s) needs protection through a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)". It publishes the exemptions plainly too: "You don't usually need to give notice to carry out work on: dead trees, dead branches and twigs, dangerous trees", with the caveat "However, you must prove the condition of the tree(s). We advise checking with us first".
On orders the council says "A TPO makes it illegal to fell, lop, prune, or damage a tree without our consent", that there are at least 28 days in which to object to an order, and that for the dead, dying or dangerous exemptions "you should notify the council at least five days in advance". Applications go through the Planning Portal or the council's own tree works form. The borough has 25 conservation areas, Hemel Hempstead Old Town among them.
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. gov.uk also states that consent "is needed for carrying out work on diseased and/or dying trees unless some other exemption applies", so a dying or diseased tree is not automatically exempt. Dying on its own does not establish a statutory exemption. We would put the council's page and the national guidance side by side and show which control applies to the work.
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 Hemel Hempstead on 16 September 2026. The pull returned 37 listings rather than the 40 asked for: 29 had a website and 8 had none. Seventeen of the 37 carry a Hemel Hempstead address, four of those seventeen have no website at all, one points at a Facebook page, and one listing is the Hertfordshire branch of a national arboriculture chain. The rest sit in Tring, Kings Langley, Berkhamsted, Rickmansworth, Amersham, Chesham and Great Missenden.
That is one dated sample of one search. What we would do with it is give Boxmoor, Gadebridge and the Old Town, Leverstock Green, Warners End and Chaulden a page each, with the conservation area page carrying the council's own sentence on it.
