Default Floating chimney. Am I seeing things?

Plastic chimneys, just there for show.
There is a row of new terraced houses near to me where they had the same
thing done, the chimneys were stacked to one side for a few weeks until
the roof was finished, then stuck on.
Apparently, the planners had to make the new houses blend in with the
area, and, they did, from a distance, they look like old terrace houses.


Same round near where I live - a new smallish estate went up a few years
back with "chimneys" on top to blend-in with the surrounding houses...
