Planning and building regulations in Surrey

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.

Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.

Building regulations 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.

Solar-control roof lanterns in Surrey: questions

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.

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.

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Surrey?

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.
