Scottish building standards, including Section 6 on energy, apply here, and a building warrant is normally needed for extensions and structural alterations.
Your council will confirm whether your lantern is permitted development under Scotland's rules, particularly for listed buildings.
Building regulations in Glasgow 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 Glasgow
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Glasgow?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Glasgow?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for G1.
