“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!”
…Your service is excellent and it’s lovely to deal with you, totally charming…
Great service as always!
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.
Excellent knowledge of Town Planning and reliable service. Exceeded my expectations.
I was very pleased with the result, however, it took time.
Well done, great news. Thanks for all the hard work and effort that the whole team has put in. Many thanks!
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.
Simon and I wanted to thank you and your team for your help with the trials and tribulations of our planning application. We’re thankful to have received approval, despite the ironic timing in the middle of a global pandemic so we can’t start work! But at least it’s over the line and we’ll work out a way to make the house habitable. We appreciate your calm and reassuring approach throughout a period of high stress for us. We would recommend your services to others.
I was very happy with the service all the way to the successful end.
