I have a decent sized basement and I want to use part of it as a cinema

Our next door neighbour successfully put in a planning application to
dig a basement under his house with a cinema, plus parking (with a
lift), and of course a maid's room. Have you left space in your design
for a maid's room?

The neighbour's house has been on the market for 18 months, now,
overpriced on the basis of this planning permission. Apparently, the
demand for maid's rooms is less than he thought.
