Planning and building regulations for Dover
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 Dover 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 Dover
Is white cheaper?
White is a stock colour, so it costs the same as the other stock colours.
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Dover?
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 CT16.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dover?
With the midsummer sun about 62.3° high at noon, roof glass in Dover gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
