Planning and building regulations for Folkestone
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 in Folkestone 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.

Is it worth having solar-control glass in Folkestone?
With the midsummer sun about 62.4° high at noon, roof glass in Folkestone gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
