Dylan et al, We have developed general arrangement plans for Tollcross Burn and feel we are now in a position to receive some input from your team and our landscape architects. These drawings show the new Tollcross Burn alignment and full extent of daylighting works within Sandyhills Park. We will follow up this issue with a briefing note to outline our design in more detail. In the meantime, here is a quick brief of our approach.

I have also included some rendering images that I’ve taken from our 3D model. Hopefully this helps visualise our design. It would be good to meet up and discuss these proposals with all those involved from AECOM. Would you be available on Tuesday the 30th for a meeting? I’m going to be on annual leave from next Friday however Calum Nicolson and Andrew Lindsay will be available in my
