We would like to remove 'T11' Tilia X Euchlora-lime tree from the back end of our car park, we would like to remove the tree in its entirety as well as the bank that it is growing from. We are proposing to remove this one tree completely. Brighthelm would like to remove this one tree to enable us to resurface our car park and enable us to maximise the space available, this is the only tree of our collection that we are looking to remove. The secondary reason is the proximity to the Brighthelm Cottages, as shown on the plan. The neighbour is concerned of the likelihood of issues arising relating to a tree of this size less than 10 feet from his historic cottage. With both of our needs benefiting from the removal of this tree, and in turn the bank at the end of the car park, we will be able to ensure no future subsidence or damage to the property. We will also be able to remove the bank at the back of the car park, which is frequented by drug users and rough sleepers. The impact on the preservation of the beautiful Brighthelm Garden will be untouched, as the main garden and existing trees throughout the car park will not be touched.
