Planning and building regulations for Perth
In Scotland, energy standards come from Section 6 of the domestic Technical Handbook, and most extensions need a building warrant before work starts.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations in Perth 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 Perth
Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Perth?
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Perth?
Yes. Delivery to Perth (PH1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
