Planning and building regulations for Cambridge
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Cambridge 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 Cambridge
Do I need triple glazing to meet building regulations?
Not usually. Well-specified double glazed lanterns generally meet the limiting values for rooflights. Triple glazing is an upgrade, not normally a requirement. Your building control body can confirm for your project.
Can I have triple glazing with solar control?
Yes. Triple units usually include a solar-control or neutral coating.

Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for CB1.
