About

Hollybush ward sits in the northern part of Welwyn Hatfield, encompassing a mix of residential estates and significant green spaces. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from post-war developments to more modern family homes. Its layout is characterised by quiet, winding streets and numerous cul-de-sacs, creating a settled neighbourhood atmosphere. The ward includes the distinct locality of Woolmer Green to its west, adding to its community composition.

A notable feature is the presence of the large Hollybush Farm development, a substantial modern housing estate built on former agricultural land. The area is bordered by the A1(M) motorway to the east, which defines its boundary. Local amenities are focused around a few key parades serving immediate daily needs, while larger retail and leisure facilities are found in neighbouring town centres. The terrain is gently rolling, with pockets of woodland and playing fields interspersed throughout.
