The roof/guttering situation? Had the idea when obsessively staring at local lofts; most have a step-down from the large dormer to the smaller outrigger, with the associated mess of pipes/gutters/soffits and low head-height in the outrigger. Wasn't up for this, so scoured the permitted development planning documents, and couldn't find anything that stipulated that there had to be a step-down.
I then started noticing the odd double-dormer here and there without the step-down, so drew up what I had in mind and got advice from an architectural technician about the roof pitch, then chucked it in our builder's lap. Seems OK so far, hope it holds up during a deluge lol
This also has the side-effect of achieving a grand ceiling height in the small outrigger room...
