Planning and building regulations for Scunthorpe
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Scunthorpe 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 Scunthorpe
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.
What height should my upstand be?
High enough to keep water away from the lantern seal, commonly at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface. Follow the instructions for your chosen range.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Scunthorpe?
With the midsummer sun about 59.9° high at noon, roof glass in Scunthorpe gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
