Most reliable. It fully met my expectations in time scale and the result was more than I expected.
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.
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.
I would like to thank you yet again for your exemplary service in winning our appeal. Always easy to contact and discuss any concerns even though the same questions have probably been asked time and time again. I thank you for your patience and 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.
Good service I have used their services three times. Very satisfactory, I will use them in future when I need.
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.
…Your service is excellent and it’s lovely to deal with you, totally charming…
Great professional service and super friendly team. Thanks MZA for your help in handling the planning objection case in a short time frame.
…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.
