Planning and building regulations in the West Midlands

In England, building regulations energy guidance sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new and replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured horizontally.

Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.

Building regulations are checked by your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work. Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Aluminium roof lanterns in the West Midlands: questions

Can I paint an aluminium lantern later?

It can be repainted with suitable systems, but it is far better to choose the right powder-coated colour at the start.

Do aluminium lanterns get cold and drip?

Thermally broken frames are designed to reduce cold bridging. Condensation can still form if a room is very humid and poorly ventilated, which is why kitchens and bathrooms need extract ventilation.

Is aluminium recyclable?

Yes, aluminium can be recycled repeatedly. Ask your local waste site about the glass and seals, which are handled separately.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in the West Midlands?

Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
