Planning and building regulations for Camborne
In England, building regulations energy guidance sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new and replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured horizontally.
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 Camborne 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.

Do large lanterns overheat a room?
A large area of south-facing glass can make a room warm on sunny days. Solar-control glass, an opening vent and good background ventilation all help. Our guide on overheating explains the options.
