Roof shape should only be about orientation, structural strength,maximising your budget, potential ceiling height and/or satisfying planning? I'd not consider unrelated projects.
There are plenty of scenarios where a pitch, or flat roof would be better. The view out of the upstairs windows is one consideration, but what's the opportunity cost?
It sounds like you need further discussion with your architect? Or if self-submitting then I'd try to view neighbour's properties (or similar) to know what's possible/best?

Our extension plans are starting to take shape.
Current frontrunner in terms of design is one with a pitched roof, but I've just seen a design I like that makes a flat roof one look a bit less boring.
Has anyone here done a flat roof extension with a green roof?
I think something like the flat roof design below, but when you look out of the window you see some kind of greenery, would look great.
