ive just heard from my neighbours today. they raised the ridge of their roof without planning permission (norty). someone grassed them up and the council went mad and told them to make a retrospective planning application to increase the height of the roof.
thankfully I have heard today to my great surprise that they have been granted the permission. its hard to see how the council could deny me permission to go up to their ridge height if I get the architect to spec it and draw it all out properly and apply for permission. that will cost a few hundred quid to do rather than the 4k to lower the ceilings below! so im rather happy.

£3k ain't much in the grand scheme of things, but dropped ceilings in the rest of the house sounds a bit grim - how high are they now and what would they be lowered to?
You're looking to get 2.1m in the loft, right? Presumably that's associated with a certain room area/width. You don't really need to be able to stand up near the edges of a room. Or you can live without for one loft-shaped room...
