Planning and building regulations for Harlow
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.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Harlow 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 Harlow
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 Harlow?
With the midsummer sun about 61.7° high at noon, roof glass in Harlow gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Harlow?
Yes. Delivery to Harlow (CM17) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
