• In relation to the potential presence of further defective construction in the external walls of other of their buildings, the City of Edinburgh Council is undertaking a proportionate and structured risk-based approach to investigating their wider estate, specifically regarding the issues identified on the PPP1 Estate i.e. wall tie embedment and the provision of appropriate restraints to masonry panels.
