Planning and building regulations for Durham
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 Durham 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.

Usually RAL 9005. If your doors are a different black, such as RAL 9004 or 9011, give us the code.
Does black get hotter?
The frame surface does, but the effect on the room is small next to the choice of glass.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Durham?
With the midsummer sun about 58.7° high at noon, roof glass in Durham gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
