Annoyingly this was a solved problem hundreds of years ago with regular mansard roof construction. One house would build up with a party wall, and the rest of the terrace would follow suit, until it was banned at some point.
Don't know why we've collectively decided to rule against simpler party wall agreements and construction, and only allow weird boxes on the the back of the house with current permitted development rights.
