MZA helped me with a tricky loft extension to navigate Ealing Council and the planning rules that they seem to apply in a fairly inconsistent manner, depending on who you talk to. I concluded that it helps hugely to have a professional team to deal with the council and MZA were excellent in planning and presenting a novel approach to make planning approval a no-brainer. The team (Bho, Yusuf and Anita) were excellent and got me through the process with a minimal amount of stress, so if you are dealing with council planning, I would recommend a talk with MZA – you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
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.
Thank you for your help on this! Very happy with the work of MZA
Thank you for your very useful, reliable service and for keeping me informed on a regular basis throughout the case. Your full knowledge of town planning system was very useful in achieving the satisfactory end result. I would strongly recommend your services
Well done, great news. Thanks for all the hard work and effort that the whole team has put in. Many thanks!
I have read the email and delighted that the application is been successful. I will like to say thank you to you and your team for the good work. I’m very grateful. We pray that the appeal of front porch will be successful as well.
Thank you for your effort and a great job you have done to obtain the licence for our operational minicab office. We will be in touch with you for any further services we need in future.
An excellent service! People were always happy to help, and worked with us every step of the way. we were regularly updated and were very grateful for the ultimate success of the appeal.
I was very pleased with the result, however, it took time.
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.
