This question was answered on 20th July 2023

Page 66 of the Design and Access Statement Part 1, which was submitted to the public inquiry and is available on the Westminster City Council website, shows that the memorial will be 10 metres high; and lower than the Buxton Memorial, which is 13.5 metres high, westminster.gov.uk.

No existing large trees will have to be felled to make way for the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre.
