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.

Questions from Chester-le-Street
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
A conservatory has a mostly glazed roof; an orangery has a mostly solid roof with a lantern in the middle and usually more solid wall. Orangeries are easier to keep comfortable year round.
Can I add a lantern to my existing orangery roof?
If the roof has a suitable opening and upstand, yes. If not, the roof needs structural alteration first, which is a job for a builder with an engineer's input.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Chester-le-Street?
With the midsummer sun about 58.6° high at noon, roof glass in Chester-le-Street gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Chester-le-Street?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
