Planning and building regulations for Altrincham
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 Altrincham 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 Altrincham
Does a white lantern show dirt?
Outside, white shows dirt more than grey. Self-cleaning glass helps with the glass, and the frames benefit from an occasional wash.
Is white cheaper?
White is a stock colour, so it costs the same as the other stock colours.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Altrincham?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Altrincham?
With the midsummer sun about 60.1° high at noon, roof glass in Altrincham gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
