The council tweeted that it had arranged for the car to be fished out tomorrow, but 'following a discussion between our officer and the car's owner yesterday, he decided it was in his best interests financially to organise the removal himself'.
County and district councillors had previously raised fears that the vehicle represented a pollution risk.
