Planning and building regulations for Leicester
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Leicester 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.

Questions from Leicester
What black is it?
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Leicester?
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 LE1.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Leicester?
With the midsummer sun about 60.8° high at noon, roof glass in Leicester gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
