Planning and building regulations for Canterbury
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.
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 in Canterbury 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 Canterbury
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.
Is triple glazing heavier to lift?
Yes, the glass is roughly 45% heavier. Plan for extra hands or lifting equipment on larger lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Canterbury?
Yes. Delivery to Canterbury (CT1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Canterbury?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
