Planning and building regulations for Cardiff
Rooflight energy standards in Wales come from the Welsh Approved Document L (2022), so check figures quoted for England do not get used by mistake.
Permitted development rules in Wales are set separately, so check with your council, especially for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Building regulations in Cardiff are checked by your local authority building control team. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work in Wales too. A competent person scheme installer can self-certify; otherwise building control should be notified.

Questions from Cardiff
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.
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 Cardiff?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your county or county borough council before ordering.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Cardiff?
Yes. Delivery to Cardiff (CF10) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
