And finally… Treehouse studio approved in Bannockburn
A luxury treehouse is to be built in Bannockburn after Stirling Council planners granted conditional approval for the studio lodge as ancillary accommodation for a cottage at Muiralehouse Road.
Although the treehouse will not be attached to the tree, the associated decking will be built around it. The treehouse, which will have double glazing, will be raised on timber decking with a timber spiral staircase and timber balustrade.
The main section shall have external cladding with a timber pitched roof to match, whilst the smaller section shall be corrugated aluminium, powdercoated black with a pitched roof to match.
There will be a living room area with kitchenette, ladders to a mezzanine level for the bedroom as well as a toilet and shower room, plus another room accessed via a separate door.
