Planning in Scotland follows the Scottish permitted development order; your council confirms whether your lantern needs consent.

Questions from Kirkwall
Can the inside be a different grey?
Yes. Any combination is possible on most aluminium ranges; non-stock colours carry a small surcharge.
Does anthracite show dirt?
Less than white. Dust and pollen are more visible on dark gloss finishes, which is why most grey lanterns use a matt or textured finish.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Kirkwall?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Kirkwall?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
