Planning and building regulations for Manchester

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.

On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.

Building regulations in Manchester 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 Manchester

Yes. Delivery to Manchester (M1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.

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

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 Manchester?

With the midsummer sun about 60.0° high at noon, roof glass in Manchester gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
