A very useful, extremely reliable service. Under the difficult circumstances the results were as good as could be expected & delays were entirely down to the Council.
Results speak! I was pleased and sure you achieved a result faster than I could have done.
I have found Yussuf and his team at MZA Planning to be a trustworthy, reliable and professional business. They stopped enforcement action from Ealing Council, prepared a new planning application for me and supported me step by step through a lengthy appeals process which took over 12 months. Today, I received a successful appeal decision notice from The Planning Inspectorate – all down to the application that MZA expertly prepared. Nothing is ever a problem for Yussuf and his team and their pricing is very reasonable too. 5-star business, glad I found them! Will be using them in the future for business and personal planning applications.
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.
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.
…We are entirely satisfied with the quality of service we have received from your company. At all times you have kept us entirely in the picture and we would have no hesitation in using you again.
I was very pleased with the result, however, it took time.
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.
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.
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.
