Planning and building regulations for Edinburgh
Here the Building (Scotland) Regulations and the domestic Technical Handbook set the standards, with a building warrant usually required for extension work.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations in Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh
Can I have a contemporary lantern in white?
Yes, though most buyers choose grey or black because the slimmer frame is the point and dark frames disappear against the sky.
Are contemporary lanterns weaker?
They are engineered for the sizes they are sold in. That is exactly why their maximum sizes are often smaller: the frame is slimmer, so each range has its own limits.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Edinburgh?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Edinburgh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Edinburgh?
Yes. Delivery to Edinburgh (EH1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
