Planning and building regulations in the East Riding of Yorkshire
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations 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.

Opening roof lanterns in the East Riding of Yorkshire: questions
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
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.
