I am so grateful to MZA for the success of my appeal. I was surprised and delighted with the result because there was an aspect of my plans that was arguably against the policy of the conservation area but the team at MZA very skilfully prepared the appeal statement in a way that emphasised how it was in keeping with the neighbouring properties and wider conservation area. They advised me expertly all the way and were a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to use their services again or recommend them to others.
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.
Thank you very much for all your help and professionalism throughout this process. It has been a pleasure working with you.
Good result and time taken really worth it.
We found your assistance and presentation to be of a very high standard. You kept us informed of all aspects of the case. As you were well aware, we have come up against quite a few obstacles with the Council, but with your skill and expertise in conversing with the relevant people, we had overcome these obstacles. We feel the money spent on obtaining planning permission was money well spent. If we did not contact you we’re sure the Council would have had their way and forced an enforcement order on the premises, thus putting so many people out of work. We were quite surprised how quickly the whole process took from start to finish. We did expect it to take a lot longer than it did
I have been dealing with MZA Planning for quite some time now and over the years I have been extremely pleased with the excellent level of service I have been shown. I appreciate and value their opinions and the direction they have given me over the years, helping me to navigate through quite complex Planning rules and regulations. I would strongly recommend anyone seeking Planning consultancy advice to speak to this firm, they won’t just tell you what you want to hear which is refreshing!
Many thanks for achieving such a great result!
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.
“Extremely reliable. Good Result, took quite a long time but that was in no way the fault of MZA. Was good at letting me know just what was going on always”
Yussuf and his team have on 3 occasions over the last decade assisted me with planning applications, all of which were successful and one particularly tricky. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MZA Planning and will always return to Yussuf for any future requirements I may have.
