…Many Thanks for your service, very quick, reliable and competent.
Results speak! I was pleased and sure you achieved a result faster than I could have done.
Thank you for your help on this! Very happy with the work of MZA
Thank you so much, Yussuf and Bho, for the professional way you very promptly prepared and saw through my appeal against a negative decision concerning a wrap-around single storey extension. From my initial free consultation to the receipt of the decision some three weeks ago you were always willing to explain things to me by phone or email which was useful and reassuring. I have already been singing your praises locally and am only too delighted to highly recommend mza planning.
I would like to thank you for the valuable assistance you have provided in Development Control and Enforcement. You made a significant contribution to the work of development control at Enfield, in terms of both performance and quality of output. You dealt with all customers professionally, fairly and tactfully and worked well with colleagues and management.
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.
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.
We recently used MZA on a successful appeal of a planning refusal. They were knowledgeable, pragmatic and responsive, and very good to work with. I would use them again (though I hope not to fall foul of the planners again!). I would recommend them highly.
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.
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.
