- The roof lantern must not extend more than 150mm above the existing roof's sloping plane.
- It should not exceed the highest point of the roof.
- If the roof lantern is on a side elevation roof slope, it must have obscure glazing.
- Any roof openings must be at least 1.7m above the floor level.
These guidelines ensure compliance with local regulations and contribute to the seamless integration of the roof lantern into your property's architecture.
