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.
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.

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 Ashton-under-Lyne
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Ashton-under-Lyne?
With the midsummer sun about 60.0° high at noon, roof glass in Ashton-under-Lyne gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Ashton-under-Lyne?
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.
