Author JK Rowling is to build a “Hagrid Hut” in the grounds of her Perthshire estate.
The Harry Potter writer wants to install the stone-built summerhouse on the edge of the Killiechassie Estate, near Aberfeldy.
Rowling bought the house and grounds in 2001 and married husband Dr Neil Murray in the library in December of that year.
The application was approved by Perth and Kinross Council planning officials last week.
The local authority’s papers present the author’s vision of the structure, which bears a resemblance to the home of one of her fictional characters, Hagrid.
Design plans show a circular structure, open to the front, containing a stone bench and featuring a slate roof. Like her fictional character’s home, the structure is set on the edge of a forest.
A council report states that the condition of the application’s approval is that no trees must be damaged or cut down during the construction.
Rowling has previously built similar structures in the grounds of her Edinburgh mansion.
The inter-connected tree houses are thought to have been built for her two youngest children.
Built on wooden stilts, the tree house features lanterns above the doors, balconies and carvings.
Also built into the structure were a spiral staircase and a trapdoor.
The Courier attempted to contact Rowling’s representatives but they were unavailable for comment.
