Planning and building regulations in the Scottish Borders
Scottish building standards, including Section 6 on energy, apply here, and a building warrant is normally needed for extensions and structural alterations.
Your council will confirm whether your lantern is permitted development under Scotland's rules, particularly for listed buildings.
Building regulations are checked by your local authority building standards (verifier) service. Some like-for-like replacement work does not need a building warrant but must still meet the building standards. Your council's building standards service can confirm.

Triple glazed roof lanterns in the Scottish Borders: questions
Will triple glazing stop rain noise?
It reduces it noticeably. Laminated glass reduces it further.
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in the Scottish Borders?
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 the Scottish Borders.
