Planning and building regulations in Mid Glamorgan
In Wales, the Welsh Government's own Approved Document L applies, with limiting values that are not the same as England's.
Permitted development rules in Wales are set separately, so check with your council, especially for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Building regulations are checked by your local authority building control team. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work in Wales too. A competent person scheme installer can self-certify; otherwise building control should be notified.

Opening roof lanterns in Mid Glamorgan: 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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Mid Glamorgan?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your county or county borough council before ordering.
