Planning and building regulations for Great Yarmouth
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 Great Yarmouth 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 Great Yarmouth
Is solar control the same as tinted glass?
Solar-control coatings often look slightly tinted, but the performance comes from the coating, not just the colour.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Great Yarmouth?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Great Yarmouth?
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.
