Planning and building regulations for Shipley

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 in Shipley 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 Shipley

Can you fit a roof lantern in Shipley?

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 Shipley?

With the midsummer sun about 59.6° high at noon, roof glass in Shipley gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Shipley?

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 Shipley?

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.
