Are there any (planning) restrictions at all on the construction of
tree houses for childrens' play? In the situation I have in mind,
someone is erecting what appears to be a fairly substantial and
permanent structure up in the sky directly overlooking a neighbour's
garden. The neighbour presumably is limited in defence by the 2m (?)
height restriction on fences. The tree house certainly extends well
above that, and it has a raised deck outside well-suited for kiddies
to stand on and lean over the wall.

I realise that of course the tree-house-builder's family have a right
to enjoy their garden too, but what makes it particularly unfortunate
is that the tree house is situated directly adjacent to a bit of patio
and garden seat in the victim's garden. So it's not even as easy as
just planting a big tree - they would have to dig up the patio and
relay it in different spot (and it's already in the best place,
centred on a south-facing wall). Anyone got any better ideas?

This is in Scotland, if that matters. Of course there is a fair chance
that the tree house will fall into disuse in a few weeks anyway...

What a miserable old Grotty you sound James . Do not get like me!!

Think of the fun pleasure some old ones would get watching the kids
having fun in a tree house.

If you were truly an old git, you would be looking forward to seeing the
little buggers falling out of the tree house and breaking their legs.
That'll learn'em.
