It is a very sad situation and you can be sure some jealous/vindictive person made a complaint. As for next door, remember that what you are seeing is the original concrete frame - when turning 'depots' into usable rooms with decent headroom, it is not uncommon to raise the roof line to above the frame/original plans.

The real tragedy is that local authorities couldn't normally care, but are duty bound to follow up any building complaints. If everyone could adopt a 'live and let live' attitude, things like this probably would never happen.

Yes definitely some "sour grapes" going on there I think !
