Planning and building regulations for Edinburgh
Here the Building (Scotland) Regulations and the domestic Technical Handbook set the standards, with a building warrant usually required for extension work.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations in Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh
Do I still need to clean self-cleaning glass?
Occasionally. It keeps the glass cleaner for longer, but heavy dirt and droppings still need a gentle rinse, especially in dry spells.
Can the coating be damaged?
Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Edinburgh?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for EH1.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Edinburgh?
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.
