According to reports, Boris Johnson plans to build his young son a wooden house for 150,000 British pounds, equipped with armor-piercing glass on the territory of his rural home Checkers.
The prime minister and his wife Carrie wanted to build the outer structure for their son Wilf in the fall of 2020, a few months after his birth, it is said.
However, Mr Johnson’s close security guards are said to have expressed concern that it will be seen from the road and could pose a potential security risk.
The couple abandoned the project after the police council, writes The Times. It is not certain that permission was given for the construction of the tree house, because many of the trees in the mansion are protected.

The exact details of the plans of the tree houses are not known, but luxury playhouses can have a number of features, including zippers, cable-stayed bridges and even hot tubs.
The armored glass of Wilf’s unbuilt tree house was reportedly significantly increased the cost of the project.
Blue Forest, a designer of luxury tree houses, told the newspaper that children’s playhouses start at £ 90,000 and go up to ‘how much you want to pay’.
A government spokesman said: “We do not comment on private or family issues that do not involve any ministerial declarations or taxpayer funds.
The details come as Mr Johnson continues to fight for his political life after two damaging losses in the midterm elections and the resignation of Conservative Chairman Oliver Dowden.
Mr Dowden said he and Tory supporters were “concerned and frustrated by recent events” and told Johnson that “someone has to take responsibility”.

On Thursday, the Tories lost their former strongholds of Tiverton and Honiton to the Liberal Democrats and Wakefield to the Labor Party.
Although under enormous pressure, Mr Johnson went into battle on Saturday and insisted he would not undergo any “psychological transformation”.
He said he must “humbly and sincerely” accept any criticism he receives in his work, but said any government was “hit” by the poor results of the midterm elections.
Telling him that Mr Dowden had resigned as Conservative chairman, saying the business could not continue as usual, Mr Johnson told BBC Radio 4’s Today program: “If you say you want me to suffer some psychological transformation, I think our listeners will know that this will not happen.
“What you can do, and what the government needs to do, and what I want to do, is continue to change, reform and improve our systems and our economy.
