Planning and building regulations for Hastings
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.
On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.
Building regulations in Hastings 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 Hastings
Can I walk on a flat rooflight?
Only if it is a walk-on rooflight designed for foot traffic. Standard rooflights are not designed to be walked on.
Do flat rooflights leak?
They should not, provided they are installed on a properly flashed upstand with the right fall and the seals are maintained.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Hastings?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Hastings?
With the midsummer sun about 62.6° high at noon, roof glass in Hastings gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
