    Curious. I am guessing the below would be near impossible to build in Ireland with planning regs.

    Well, planning permission would be required. All depends where you are/context as to whether or not you would get planning permission. Unlikely in an urban/suburban setting!

    Certainly difficult - and would need the ideal site - but maybe not impossible.

    Might depend on whether it is public, private, etc.

    I wonder if you could draw parallels with round towers, tower houses or folly towers?

    Avondale Viewing Tower or Birr Castle Tree House - examples - although public.

    That's not a tree house. So wouldn't refer to one as such.

    I think drawing parallels with tower houses, Follys etc is a stretch. Modern planning generally intends to prevent Follys, so might not even be a positive association

    if you have a site large enough and obscured enough to hide it, planning permission as a structure for the enjoyment of the main house would certainly be possible.

    Drawing parallels between things is often a stretch - that's partly the intention - it also often helps us to consider ideas and concepts in different ways - and sometimes helps capture the imagination of everyone involved in a project. Consider a fire lookout in an American forest and we view it and understand it in a certain way - draw paralllels with an Irish tower house and we consider it slightly differently - it may be only a very slight difference but often that can be enough.

    Not sure modern planning intends to prevent follies - that may be more the particulars of various planning policy which by default limit the possible locations for them - or particular designs - but follies are still being built - despite modern planning.
