Conversion of flat roof

I have a semi detached house with a flat roof. We would like to convert our roof to a pitched roof with a room but our neighbours (also flat roof) aren’t in a position to do their roof. Can we turn our side into a pitched roof and their side left flat?

"Yes you can either clad the side of your neighbours if doing a straight pitched conversion from top to bottom, or if you want a hipped style conversion you can tile down to your neighbours level and add a flashing."

"By giving your neighbours a mansard side roof this would work"
