Planning and building regulations in Greater Manchester

For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.

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 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.

Small roof lanterns in Greater Manchester: questions

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.

Are small lanterns available quickly?

Standard small sizes are often available from stock. Lead times are confirmed on your quote.

What is the smallest roof lantern?

Many ranges start at around 800–1000 mm. Below that, a flat rooflight is usually the better product.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Greater Manchester?

Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
