Restoration & Refurbishment

Do I need a Building Warrant to remove a shower cubicle?

We have an L-shaped bedroom with a (random!) shower cubicle in one corner. It's not an ensuite (no separate door between the two rooms) it's literally been installed in the corner. I know the previous owner got Permissions for the installation but we don't use it (it's a bit grim having a shower in the bedroom!) and we want to remove it completely and replace it with an inbuilt wardrobe. Do we need a Building Warrant for this? We are in Scotland. It's fully tiled and plumbed into the drainage servicing the bathroom on the other side of the internal wall. We also have a pull-cord operated electric extractor fan - which we also never use. If applicable, we currently have an over-bath shower in the bathroom and we are currently at the PP stage for a rear extension which will rejig our existing bathroom to allow us to install a separate shower cubicle (for the creaky grandparents when they come to stay!) thereby meeting disability regs.
