We are happy to discuss proposals before formal submission.
We are in the same building as Development Control (Planning) and Conservation so we are able to set up a 'Development Team Approach' or 'One-Stop Shop' as appropriate for larger schemes.
Development Team Approach is the concept of bringing together all local authority regulatory agencies which affect the development process to provide a co-ordinated approach to the development from conception to completion. It can involve building control, planning, highways, environmental health and the fire brigade.

We fully support the LABC Registered Details scheme, where plans of repetitive buildings are submitted just once to one local authority for approval. Once approved, the decision is honoured by all local authorities.
Visit the Registered Details pages of the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) website for further details.
There may be a small initial additional charge for this service, but this would be more than offset by cost savings for you.

We fully support the LABC Partner Authority Scheme, where a partnership is agreed between a local authority (the partner authority) and any person or body (the partner company). Inspections are then carried out by the inspecting authority - the authority in whose area the work is located.
You may be interested in partnering if you are perhaps an architect, builder or developer who wishes to deal with just one particular local authority for the full plans submission process, no matter in which local authority area the proposed work might be.
Full Plans are submitted to the partner authority, which issues decision advice to the authority in whose area the work will be (the inspecting authority). Partnerships are honoured by nearly all local authorities.
Once a partnership is formed, a partner company is not obliged to use the partner authority in all or any particular instance.
Visit the LABC website Partnering website for further details.
There is no additional charge for this service.

LABC Latent Gold is a structural defects insurance for commercial buildings up to £15 million in value and by arrangement for buildings valued over £15 million. It is delivered by LABC via local authority building control departments in partnership with Oval Insurance Broking, with Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty (Allianz) as underwriters.
LABC Latent Gold provides a low cost way to avoid the high risks and legal complexities associated with collateral warranties.

Developers, owners, tenants and other users/occupiers are all insured.
The combined cost of LABC Building Control and LABC Latent Gold will almost always be less than is obtainable from any other provider.
