Thank you very much for obtaining the necessary approval for the above mentioned project. This approval stands for your high level professionalism and the technical know-how in handling complex situations. More over, the way you dealt with the time scale and the update with the progress of the job has been remarkable. Once again, let me take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent work.
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.
MZA had to conduct a demanding process of negotiation with, on the one hand, the multi-disciplinary design team taking on board the complexities of legislation and on the other, the local planning authorities. MZA are thorough in all aspects of the parts of the assignments they undertakes, despite the complexities he has been able to develop good working relationships on all fronts and is productive, not least in the patient preparation of responses to difficult multi-facated queries and scrutiny.
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.
“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!”
A fantastic service. Due to MZA, we now have approved plans enabling us to build the house of our dreams (with rear extension, loft extension and side extension). These were not straight forward plans but MZA worked with us and the council to ensure they were passed.
We used MZA Planning twice for householder appeals and won both times! They provided an excellent, efficient service and gave realistic advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Just a few lines to thank you for all your help in getting me my planning permission. I found you most professional at all times and you kept me up to date of movements at all crucial times.
The results were very quick – I thought it would have taken longer – all very quick – MZA were terrific, when I first phoned them I was in a bad way – they kept me calm told me to send everything to them and they basically sorted everything – very efficient – I had all faith in them and they did it all – very very happy for all he has done for my business – Thank you.
Well done, great news. Thanks for all the hard work and effort that the whole team has put in. Many thanks!
