Many rooflight projects do not require planning permission, as the installation of rooflights is seen as a ‘Permitted Development’ - This is as long as the rooflight does not protrude more than 150mm above the roof plane and no part of it is higher than the highest point on the existing roof.

Fixed rooflights boast a benefit that opening rooflights do not, they are not restricted in their placement as no moving elements need to be considered. However multiple considerations need to be taken, for example if the roof is strong enough to hold the additional weight of a rooflight or if the rooflight will be in a location that receives enough natural daylight.

Overheating is a common concern with rooflights, however opting for a UV/Solar coating will ensure only light can come through the rooflight, reflecting infrared radiation. Another way to combat overheating is installing blinds as these will automatically create a shade for your rooflight.
