Planning and building regulations for Shepherds Bush

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 Shepherds Bush 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 Shepherds Bush

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.

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Shepherds Bush?

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.

Is it worth having solar-control glass in Shepherds Bush?

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

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.
