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

It was clear that you had excellent background knowledge of enforcement matters, we were extremely impressed with the significant inroads you made into the backlog of casework.

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.

I am delighted to report it has been a great pleasure dealing with MZA Planning. We had been refused permission to build a wrap around extension on two occasions. Both our Architects had given up and advised us to alter the designs to match the requirements of the Local Authority’s planning rules. We had also given up, and then by chance MZA contacted us and explained how they could help. To be honest, I did not think we would get anywhere but MZA put forward a very well researched case on our behalf and managed to appeal and obtain the permission we needed. I would recommend anyone who is having similar issues with the local authority to contact MZA.

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

“When the Council first declined our extension project, I was gutted… only to find that we could do as much, if not more, under Permitted Development, on the advice of our architect. As the work was pretty much finished, a council worker visited the property and rejected everything we had done as unlawful. They soon voted the demolition of our project, which left me baffled as I was quite sure we had followed PD rules and saw no rationale for their conclusion! Enter MZA planning: from his first visit to the property, even before we contracted him, Yusuf was helpful and gave us an honest opinion on our position, without charging us anything… When we decided to appeal the decision, he was an obvious choice… His deep knowledge of the intricate Council process proved invaluable and yes, we won the appeal!!! I cannot recommend his firm highly enough… Next time, I will make sure I enlist his help straight from the start of any project! A Huge Thank you!”

I am very happy with the services that MZA provided. They kept me up to date with the process and are very friendly and professional.

I was most impressed with the manner and efficiency by which you undertook our planning issues with Hounslow Council. I was particularly happy with the approach you employed and of course your full understanding of the particular complex legal issues in my case.

I would confirm that the services provided by MZA Associates to be extremely good. We have found the service to be very reliable with their knowledge of town planning being of special use in our own particular application. The planning permission was given in good time and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for all your help and assistance that you have given me, and the northern development control team. You have always carried out your duties in a professional and friendly manner, giving advice where needed and keeping to statutory deadlines wherever necessary. I hope that in future we can call upon you again to assist us in fulfilling our development control functions.

Many thanks for achieving such a great result!
