Planning and building regulations for Crowborough
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.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Crowborough 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 Crowborough
Does it help in winter?
Solar control mainly limits summer heat. Winter heat loss is governed by the U-value, which depends on the glazing unit and frame.
Can blinds do the same job?
Internal blinds reduce glare but the heat is already inside the room. Glass that stops the heat at the roof is more effective.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Crowborough?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Crowborough?
With the midsummer sun about 62.4° high at noon, roof glass in Crowborough gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
