Is this taking the piss in regard to permitted development and 'No part of the extension to be higher than the highest part of the existing roof'

They've raised the original roofline to the height of the party walls (which also increased the steepness of the road facing roof)

It is very much taking the piss, especially with those firewalls. And it’s breaking the rules.
But I’ve seen worse.

And in this day and age of (apparently) limited housing supply, is it really that much of a problem? Should we be discouraging people from slightly enlarging their homes albeit in a slightly cheeky way?
It’s not like it’s on top of an extraordinary architectural delight or some rural fantasy.

I think it is a problem. It makes no practical difference to the square footage of their place - it just raises the ceiling height in the loft extension which is mostly an aesthetic improvement but only internally. Everyone else has to look at it.

Unless they stuffed it insulation but probably not.
