Planning and building regulations for Market Harborough
England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Market Harborough 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.

Questions from Market Harborough
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
