Through the Royal Borough's association with Local Authority Building Control (LABC), we're able to offer many schemes to help professionals through the building control process. If you're a contractor, architect or developer, Building Control may be able to fast-track the approvals process or inspections.

Depending on how your proposals have been put together, you can choose from:

• Full plan approvals - get approval to the whole scheme at an early stage
• Staged approvals - stage approvals to phase with your design process. We recognise that for large complex schemes it is not always possible to submit all plans before work begins on site
• Building Notice approvals - in some cases going straight to site under a Building Notice route.

In each case you can still be on-site and constructing within two days.

Partnership Authority Scheme

If you've developed a good working arrangement with the Royal Borough of Greenwich's Building Control, you can engage in a Partnership Authority Scheme. This allows you to have your plans approved at a location of your choice while the site inspection process remains with the local offices.
