Planning and building regulations for Northolt

England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.

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.

Building regulations in Northolt 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.

Roof lantern questions from Northolt

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Northolt?

Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Northolt?

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.

Is it worth having solar-control glass in Northolt?

With the midsummer sun about 61.9° high at noon, roof glass in Northolt gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.

Can you fit a roof lantern in Northolt?

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.
