Planning and building regulations for Chichester
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Chichester 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 Chichester
Are uPVC lanterns as good as aluminium?
They do the same job at a lower price, with bulkier frames and fewer colour and size options. For most showpiece extensions aluminium is worth the extra.
Is uPVC heavier?
Weight is dominated by the glass, so the difference is small.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Chichester?
With the midsummer sun about 62.6° high at noon, roof glass in Chichester gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Chichester?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
