Planning and building regulations for Bexley
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 Bexley 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 Bexley
Will solar-control glass make the room dark?
It lets slightly less light through than clear glass, but a roof lantern admits so much daylight that most people do not notice the difference.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Bexley?
With the midsummer sun about 62.0° high at noon, roof glass in Bexley gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Bexley?
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.
