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.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.

Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Guildford
Will anthracite get hot in the sun?
Dark frames absorb more heat than white, but lantern frames are designed for it. The bigger effect on room temperature is the glass, which is why solar-control glass matters on south-facing roofs.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Guildford?
With the midsummer sun about 62.2° high at noon, roof glass in Guildford gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
