Isolating from external sound; windows; and should I visit Rod Gervais?

I'd like to make a spare room in my house suitable for recording spoken dialogue.

The three problems I see are:

- separating recording equipment/activity from performance
- the room is basically square (23'x23')
- there is a huge sawmill near my house.

HELP!, roof/ceiling venting plan, is this an isolation disaster?

I am having a back garden practice/recording cabin built. Structure will be (from outside to inside)

Concrete base with DPM
timber frame (total area 4x5m)
OSB with 18 mm shiplap cladding
4x2in wooden studs
100mm RW3
2 layers of 15mm acoustic plasterboard.

Roof
OSB covered with EPDM
