Planning and building regulations for Falmouth
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.
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.
Building regulations in Falmouth 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 Falmouth
Who deals with building control?
We will explain on your quote how building regulations will be met for your job and who is responsible for any notification.
How long does fitting take?
A lantern on a ready upstand is often fitted in a few hours. Replacement and new openings take longer.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Falmouth?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Falmouth?
With the midsummer sun about 63.3° high at noon, roof glass in Falmouth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
