Planning and building regulations in Oxfordshire
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
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 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 lanterns in Oxfordshire: questions
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Oxfordshire?
With the midsummer sun about 61.6° high at noon, roof glass in Oxfordshire gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Oxfordshire?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Oxfordshire?
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.
What is the biggest lantern you can supply?
It depends on the range. Many go to around 4 m long, some further with intermediate rafters. Send your size and we will confirm.
