Planning and building regulations for Macclesfield
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
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 Macclesfield 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.

They should not, provided they are installed on a properly flashed upstand with the right fall and the seals are maintained.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Macclesfield?
With the midsummer sun about 60.2° high at noon, roof glass in Macclesfield gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Macclesfield?
