Very nice 
Does that structure require planning permission?
No, that one didn't. TBH its rare that they do.Does that structure require planning permission?
I was under the impression tree houses above 300mm in height need planning?
As far as I'm aware any structure over 300mm off the floor needs planning and you take a chance if you build and don't follow procedure - I'm curious that's all

That's impressive! Can i ask how big the room was to start? I'm looking to do something similar.
Hi R8SteveThe room was 5.5 x 4.5m, the screen is 3m wide and on the 4.5m end which allowed us to get the two rows of seats in.
Happy to chat off line about it if you want to.

The room I have free is approx 4.5 x 3.5m so a bit smaller but would be worth having a chat to see what you can suggest, would like to have a five/six zone sonos system in the near future as well which I see you do also. Will I just get a hold of you through your website?The room was 5.5 x 4.5m, the screen is 3m wide and on the 4.5m end which allowed us to get the two rows of seats in.

What do I do ?
Well I work in the financial sector and know not alot about financial things.... Time served electrician and have ended up working for a major bank in a bureau critical infrastructure monitoring team....
What does that involve ? well a while back the bank decided that it needed to take a more proactive approach in ensuring that its comms rooms located around the country and overseas needed to be monitored and treated the same way as its data centres. We started out in a back room in a data center and slowly took on sites installing gear to monitor the critical equipment that supported the equipment that the banks IT structure and platforms operate on. slowly the role developed and we took on more, and our activities started to provide savings and also catch issues before they became impacting events.
Most folks dont realise what is involved - were totally reliant on IT now, You have generators and uninterruptable power supplies things that keep power going to the IT units. Then you have to keep these rooms secure, the temperatures stable and check for leaks fires and all sorts that may impact. It was like the proverbial snowball, you start something and then it starts to roll down the hill gathering momentum. the team there 24/7 well we could manage incidents we could provide assistance etc. were on the network we can access other systems remotely so we can check and do first fix on systems from our bureau..... someone in an office complains of being too cold we can jump on the system and check the heating and make modifications..... issue solved without calling in a contractor ? cost reductions obtained.
Its an enjoyable role and you feel that you are achieving something worthwhile.

Would that possibly be 3 metres you are thinking of? 300mm, at just under 12 inches, seems unlikely to attract the interest of the planners.
Google suggests....Each planning authority has its own rules but general guidelines are
The structure must be less than 4 metres high to the top of a ridged roof if it is to be beyond 2 metres from a boundary. If it has a flat roof the maximum height should be 3 metres.
The structure must be less than 2.5 metres high if within 2 metres from the boundary
The playhouse should be 5 metres away from the dwelling.
The playhouse must not be sited between the dwelling and the main highway.
The playhouse does not have a floor area in excess of 30 square metres.
If the playhouse has a floor area of more than 20 square metres, it should be 1 metre from the boundary.
Platforms above 30 cm need planning permission.
Yep, above 30cm requires planning!

Be patronised and chastised by useless signs such as these.
Be held up by these at 2 am when they turn to red because folk are too thick to be trusted to be able to drive around without them on when it's quiet.
You aren't involved with those hopeless digital motorway signs, are you?
Those ones that, at no point in their history of use, have ever displayed some genuine, helpful, correct info?
We provide the software, systems & data which drive them. The highways authority responsible decide what to put on them and when.Be held up by these at 2 am when they turn to red because folk are too thick to be trusted to be able to drive around without them on when it's quiet.
