Filming requests

We welcome filming applications in our borough. Our involvement will depend on where you want to film as we are not involved in all filming across the borough.

Please read our filming guidance, our code of practice  and, if you want to go ahead, complete an online application form at least seven working days in advance.

Our guidance is designed to help us work with you to consider all relevant matters in advance of filming.

All filmmakers are required to:

• Liaise with appropriate facilities management and health and safety staff regarding any filming activity that could have a potential risk to health and safety of third parties (for example, building occupants, visitors, neighbours).
• Notify and/or seek permission from residents and businesses located within the immediate area of intended filming.
• Notify and/or seek permission from other agencies affected by the filming.
• Read and agree to our Code of Practice prior to filming and, if filming is on our property, you will need to provide a copy of your public liability insurance, risk assessments and health and safety assessments.

Please note: we charge for filming on our property. 

Filming requests are coordinated by our Corporate Communications team who can be contacted on 020 8207 7581 or by email: corporate.communications@hertsmere.gov.uk for initial advice if required. However you will be required to complete our online form.

If you are looking for a place to film, or need help in organising a shoot, you could contact Creative England which works with the British Film Commission to support film and television productions.
