Planning and building regulations for Hinckley
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.
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 Hinckley 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 Hinckley
Should the lantern match my bifold doors?
A common choice is to match the outside colour, often anthracite. The inside can be white to keep the ceiling bright.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Hinckley?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Hinckley?
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.
