Cut through the red tape.
Planning permission without the headaches.

…Your service is excellent and it’s lovely to deal with you, totally charming…

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at MZA planning for their excellent and professional service. I had contacted other planning companies before coming across MZA, but I did not get the same positive vibe as when I first met with Yussuf. MZA were the only company who readily came out on a site visit to understand my situation first hand. Their prices were also very reasonable compared to another company that charged me more for a few hours of work compared to MZA for the whole case. I had Yussuf and Bho dealing with my case and they are clearly very knowledgable in their fields as they understand all planning issues, what is likely to be granted and what isn’t etc along with a full understanding of the relevant policies that would relate to my case. When presenting the case, they laid out all my arguments to the council in a very professional and concise manner and all backed up by the relevant policies and documents referred to by the council. I also want to say a big thank you to Anita who dealt with a lot of my phone calls and is always very calm and professional, even when I was very stressed. I am glad to say that I won the case thanks to MZA, even when the council made it seem impossible. I will definetly be using them for any future planning issues and I have no hesitation in recommending them to everyone, whether it be for residential or commercial planning. Thank you once again for everything.

Yussuf, I believe this was a great delivered speech, delivered quiet but with great effect. All points nicely delivered. What more can i say: well done!!! Many Thanks.

I am very happy with the service of MZA planning and I do recommend them to any one having problem about outbuilding.

I found the team at MZA very knowledgeable, helpful & professional. As you would expect from a firm that specialises in planning appeals, they cover all basis to ensure the highest chance of success. The fees are very reasonable especially when you consider you pay 50% to submit your appeal and the other 50% only if successful, which ensures the agent will do everything to ensure your success. I would highly recommend anyone during an appeal stage but also worth considering for people with ambitious plans at planning stage.

These guys never disappoint! I cannot thank Mr Yussuf and his team enough, every email and every phone call was either dealt with or returned. Great customer service which is always a major key in any business. We went with previous architects and had absolutely no hope after being rejected. I approached MZA and they reassured me they can help. Literally went through 12 rounds with the council and was knocked down every single round. MZA prepared a professional strategy highlighting all the councils concerns on my project and it was finally approved. They do not just read off a screen and reel you in, they will tell you how it is and very straightforward and honest business. I cannot thank you guys enough.

I used MZA to help with my application for planning permission to replace the shopfront of my cafe. After doing some research on a few planning consultants and reading some exemplary reviews I chose to go with MZA Planning. Firstly their reviews and the testaments of their previous customer are fully merited! They not only provide such a professional and transparent service, their price is more than competitive, its value for money. As a first time business owner, I found the application process daunting and extremely protracted, especially being in green conservation area. MZA took care of everything, from site surveys, CAD drawings to the arguments in the application. They advised and updated me on every step of the process, and more importantly, chased and hounded the council when they fell behind. I was very impressed by their attention to detail, especially in their set up of a customer specific dropbox which you can access at anytime and view all documents pertaining to the case and also the clear breakdown of their invoices. It also feels like they have the whole team behind you, not just one dedicated representative but multiple staff in their company communicating with you so that you will always get a prompt reply from someone to deal with any queries you may have. I want to thank the whole team especially Mr Yousuf, Molly, Monica, and Amelia. I would very highly recommend MZA for all your planning needs, they really do help make applying for any permissions completely stress free! Again many many thanks for all your efforts.

After many months of trying to have sensible conversations with the planning department at Hounslow, I was worn down to the point of giving up. At every opportunity Hounslow simply said NO and maintained a desire to show no common sense and almost demonstrated an appetite to simply play games because they could. It was all very depressing until one day I received a post card through my door after my third rejected planning application. The post card was from MZA. A local, professional planning consultancy that suggested that they could help. I was very sceptical but thought that it was worth paying for a brief consultation. Without sounding too dramatic, that 20 minute meeting changed everything. The team at MZA felt very confident that all of my planning applications should have been accepted first time around. I followed the advice that I received from the expert consultants to the letter and they helped me and my architect navigate through the process of appeal. Last Thursday I received the last decision, again in my favour. 100% of Hounslow’s ridiculous decisions were overturned and I plan to start the build in a few weeks. As a Chiswick based surveyor and estate agent I meet so many people that have fallen victim to the same treatment from the local authority and I plan to send them all to MZA. If you feel that your local authority is behaving more like a David Brent sketch than an elected authority, give MZA a call. They talk sense and do what they say that are going to do. Truly excellent. Thank you to the whole team.

“Extremely reliable. Good Result, took quite a long time but that was in no way the fault of MZA. Was good at letting me know just what was going on always”

I have been dealing with MZA Planning for quite some time now and over the years I have been extremely pleased with the excellent level of service I have been shown. I appreciate and value their opinions and the direction they have given me over the years, helping me to navigate through quite complex Planning rules and regulations. I would strongly recommend anyone seeking Planning consultancy advice to speak to this firm, they won’t just tell you what you want to hear which is refreshing!
