With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.

Yes. Delivery to Northwich (CW9) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Northwich?
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.
