Planning and building regulations for Newtown
Wales sets its own energy standards for rooflights in the Welsh Approved Document L, so the Welsh figures apply rather than England's.
Permitted development rules in Wales are set separately, so check with your council, especially for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Building regulations in Newtown 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 Newtown
Is a traditional lantern harder to clean?
There are more bars, so there are more edges for dirt to collect along. Self-cleaning glass helps, but a gentle rinse once or twice a year is still worthwhile.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Newtown?
With the midsummer sun about 60.9° high at noon, roof glass in Newtown gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Newtown?
Yes. Delivery to Newtown (SY16) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
