I would like to thank you for all the work you have put into helping us getting the planning permission. I am very pleased in the efficiency you have shown us and will be getting in touch when I require any further work carried out.
Thank you so much for your wise professional advice and support in helping us to object to this proposal. Your planning expertise was crucial in ensuring that our objection was properly considered, and helped us to focus more sharply on the vital aspect of material planning matters.
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.
Results speak! I was pleased and sure you achieved a result faster than I could have done.
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.
“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!”
-Professional -Experienced -Knowledgable These guys never disappoint! I cannot thank Mr Yussuf and his team enough , every email and every phone call was either dealt with or returned. Great customer service which is always a major key in any business. We went with previous architects and had absolutely no hope after being rejected . I approached MZA and they reassured me they can help. Literally went through 12 rounds with the council and was knocked down every single round. MZA prepared a Professional strategy highlighting all the councils concerns on my project and it was finally approved. They do not just read off a screen and reel you in, they will tell you how it is and very straightforward and honest business. I cannot thank you guys enough . Many thanks guys . Sam
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.
“It has been a pleasure working with MZA. A very professional service that gave me the result I was hoping for: Change of use for my new shop premises.A big thank you to Jorge. He did really well and communicated clearly at all times. I would definitely recommend!”
It was a pleasure working with you, thank you for helping us win our appeal. The statement written was concise and direct and we were very impressed with it. I would recommend MZA to anyone who needs such a service. MZA were professional and had an excellent understanding of the planning system. Thank you very much once again.
