Planning and building regulations in Greater Manchester

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 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.

Black roof lanterns in Greater Manchester: questions

Is a black lantern too dark inside?

The frame is a small part of what you see; the glass dominates. Black frames inside create a graphic grid that many people like. If you want a softer look, choose white inside.

Will black fade?

Quality powder coatings are designed for UK weather. Matt finishes may show a slight sheen change over many years.

Does black get hotter?

The frame surface does, but the effect on the room is small next to the choice of glass.

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Greater Manchester?

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.
