Planning and building regulations for Shanklin

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.

Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.

Building regulations in Shanklin 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 Shanklin

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

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.

Can you fit a roof lantern in Shanklin?

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.

Is it worth having solar-control glass in Shanklin?

With the midsummer sun about 62.8° high at noon, roof glass in Shanklin gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Shanklin?

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.
