Planning and building regulations for Shepherds Bush
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 Shepherds Bush 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 Shepherds Bush
Can a flat rooflight open?
Some ranges offer electric opening versions. Ask for availability for your size.
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 I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Shepherds Bush?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Shepherds Bush?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
