Planning and building regulations for Dumfries
In Scotland, energy standards come from Section 6 of the domestic Technical Handbook, and most extensions need a building warrant before work starts.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations in Dumfries are checked by your local authority building standards (verifier) service. Some like-for-like replacement work does not need a building warrant but must still meet the building standards. Your council's building standards service can confirm.

Questions from Dumfries
Can I return a bespoke lantern?
No. Goods made to your specification are excluded from the 14-day cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Your other legal rights, for example if the lantern is faulty, are not affected.
Do bespoke lanterns cost much more?
For simple rectangles the premium over a stock size is usually modest. Special shapes cost more because each one is engineered individually.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Dumfries?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for DG1.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Dumfries?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
