Ah ,see what you mean now. Thought the pipes were all originating from the boxed in section. Can see now they are in front of it.
If you fitted the cabinet on top of the tiled boxing ,bring pipes through base of cabinet ,and fit a plinth beneath ( like kitchen cabinets),which could be tiled to match if you have / can get any.
Would that work for you ?

That would be a possibility yes. Where more discussing floor standing ones but due to the boxing in is awarkard to get the pipes in to the service channel at the back on the unit. And also there is cutting the unit or leg for the boxing in. So maybe a wall hung one could be an option.

Floor standing or on legs I Dont see you have much choice other than to come up through the base, can you offset the unit for the waste to come up one side or the other so you dont loose too much storage?
edit: That should be wall hung or on legs
and,come up through the base in front of the service void

You could fit a floor standing one ,but the Pipework would be visible beneath just the same.

Are these the units you ment. You then fit a plynth around like a kitchen unit?

Yes thats the type , make sure theres enough height within the adjustment of the legs to fit over the boxing but if not it could be overcome,

These say the plynth is 150mm so will do it. Maybe able to elbow the waste and the pipes back in to the service duct too. Are these type usually decent enough quality? Also the back legs id be able to move that forward abit I guess so doesn't hit the boxing it. Thanks not seen this type before.
Even if you use several bends, not recommended , to get back behind the service void the pipe/trap will still be mounted in the storage space unless you have a cunning plan.
Im not familiar with those units so dont know about the quality.
If you move the rear legs forward the unit still needs securing into the wall.
Edit: maybe replace an elbow with a "T" ,accessible from under the plinth so you could have a removable cap .

Don't be limited by the advertised plinth height- if you want to go higher just put some blocks under the legs and use a bigger bit of chipboard/whatever (nick the clips off the back of the supplied plinth). Or tile a lump of plywood and use that.
So it's quiet normal to not be able to bring pipes up in the service void when fitting a vanity with shelves to existing? Am used to new work where can first fix to dimensions.
It's known as "shop fitting" and involves aesthetics to fit the real world.
If you have chosen said unit to fit into site location then the skill required is called scribing and the trade is joinery.
You would need a plumber who is a multi trade.
