Planning and building regulations for Wimborne Minster
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 Wimborne Minster 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.

Are flat rooflights cheaper than lanterns?
Usually, size for size. They use one glass unit and a simple frame.

With the midsummer sun about 62.6° high at noon, roof glass in Wimborne Minster gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
