Planning and building regulations for Glasgow
Here the Building (Scotland) Regulations and the domestic Technical Handbook set the standards, with a building warrant usually required for extension work.
Your council will confirm whether your lantern is permitted development under Scotland's rules, particularly for listed buildings.
Building regulations in Glasgow 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 Glasgow
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 you need to survey before fitting?
For a lantern on a ready upstand, clear photos and measurements are often enough. Replacements and new openings need a survey.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Glasgow?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Glasgow?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
