Planning and building regulations in Greater London

In England, building regulations energy guidance sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new and replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured horizontally.

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 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.

Traditional roof lanterns in Greater London: questions

Do you make timber traditional lanterns?

Our range is aluminium and uPVC. Aluminium can be powder-coated in heritage colours that suit timber windows and doors.

Can I have cresting without finials, or the other way round?

Usually yes. Ranges treat cresting and finials as options. Tell us what you want and the quote will list each item.

Will a traditional lantern need planning permission?

The style does not change the planning position; size, height and location do. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the main cases where consent is more likely to be needed.
