Planning and building regulations for Exeter
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 Exeter 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 Exeter
Does a small lantern need an opening vent?
Not usually. Background ventilation for the room can come from trickle vents or extract fans. Vents are more useful on lanterns over kitchens and large living spaces.
Can I fit a small lantern myself?
Small lanterns are within the reach of a competent builder or roofer. The critical parts are a level, square, weatherproof upstand and the manufacturer's fixing instructions. In existing homes, replacement rooflights are building work that may need building control involvement.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Exeter?
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 EX1.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Exeter?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
