Truss joint spiked plates separating ?

[Barryscotland]

Is this a cause for concern or normal as the timber dries out? It’s on a roof truss that’s doubled up to support a raised ceiling .

Think it was made like that, not good practice having joints in same place but common with doubled trussed rafters. As long as the hedgehog plates are in then it won’t go anywhere

If you are flooring over then even better. Plenty of fixings either side for piece of mind and yes, forget about it.
