Removed by a registered contractor to protect an underlying sewer pipe, ensuring pipe safety and free access for Scottish Water crews. The City of Edinburgh Council formally confirmed planning permission is not required. Site is now a permanent, open-plan layout. Linked to Scottish Water Asset Impact Application DSCAS-0157809-DH4.
