if building control are actually going to be that anal (it does happen). Given that it's your own house and you know the use case... it may be possible to supply both permanent and switched lives at the light fixture without rewiring too much. Quinetic switches are an option. Link out existing sw and cover with a quinetic switch (they do MK grid modules that look more like a traditional switch if you're not keen on the 'paddle' design, although i like them) , hide a receiver in or above the fitting, and bob's your uncle.
Edit: not sponsored by quinetic at all... but of all wireless switches i've found them the most user friendly, no batteries and they don't lose their memory after power cuts (of reasonable duration, if your power's off for months, you may need to re-pair them)
