Planning and building regulations for Fleet
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 Fleet 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 Fleet
Can I order a lantern before the upstand is built?
Yes, if you build the upstand to the lantern's stated external size. Many people order the lantern and upstand together so they match.
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Fleet?
With the midsummer sun about 62.2° high at noon, roof glass in Fleet gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
