Planning and building regulations for Edinburgh
In Scotland, energy standards come from Section 6 of the domestic Technical Handbook, and most extensions need a building warrant before work starts.
Your council will confirm whether your lantern is permitted development under Scotland's rules, particularly for listed buildings.
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 a flat rooflight open?
Some ranges offer electric opening versions. Ask for availability for your size.

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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Edinburgh?
