Planning and building regulations for Perth
Scottish building standards, including Section 6 on energy, apply here, and a building warrant is normally needed for extensions and structural alterations.
Planning in Scotland follows the Scottish permitted development order; your council confirms whether your lantern needs consent.
Building regulations in Perth 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 Perth
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 Perth?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Perth?
With the midsummer sun about 57.0° high at noon, roof glass in Perth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
