Planning and building regulations in South Glamorgan
Wales sets its own energy standards for rooflights in the Welsh Approved Document L, so the Welsh figures apply rather than England's.
Check the Welsh permitted development rules with your council before ordering, particularly in conservation areas.
Building regulations are checked by your local authority building control team. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work in Wales too. A competent person scheme installer can self-certify; otherwise building control should be notified.

Black roof lanterns in South Glamorgan: questions
Does black get hotter?
The frame surface does, but the effect on the room is small next to the choice of glass.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in South Glamorgan?
Your local authority building control team. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
