Cut through the red tape.
Planning permission without the headaches.

Well done, great news. Thanks for all the hard work and effort that the whole team has put in. Many thanks!

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.

MZA Planning successfully presented my planning application to the Planning Inspectorate after the local planning authority had denied it. The Planning Inspectorate found in favour of the application and have declared it should be allowed. MZA Planning have been utterly brilliant. The entire organisation have been consistently and flawlessly professional throughout, have provided a steadying hand when needed and a relentless tenacity for success that would have you believe this was their own personal journey. The duration of this process extended to 18 months, throughout which MZA provided an honest, meticulous and personalised service – I can’t recommend them highly enough. In my opinion – anyone wanting planning advice would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn’t at least discuss their requirements with MZA

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.

Great service as always!

Thank you very much for obtaining the necessary approval for the above mentioned project. This approval stands for your high level professionalism and the technical know-how in handling complex situations. More over, the way you dealt with the time scale and the update with the progress of the job has been remarkable. Once again, let me take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent work.

I used MZA to help with my application for planning permission to replace the shopfront of my cafe. After doing some research on a few planning consultants and reading some exemplary reviews I chose to go with MZA Planning. Firstly their reviews and the testaments of their previous customer are fully merited! They not only provide such a professional and transparent service, their price is more than competitive, its value for money. As a first time business owner, I found the application process daunting and extremely protracted, especially being in green conservation area. MZA took care of everything, from site surveys, CAD drawings to the arguments in the application. They advised and updated me on every step of the process, and more importantly, chased and hounded the council when they fell behind. I was very impressed by their attention to detail, especially in their set up of a customer specific dropbox which you can access at anytime and view all documents pertaining to the case and also the clear breakdown of their invoices. It also feels like they have the whole team behind you, not just one dedicated representative but multiple staff in their company communicating with you so that you will always get a prompt reply from someone to deal with any queries you may have. I want to thank the whole team especially Mr Yousuf, Molly, Monica, and Amelia. I would very highly recommend MZA for all your planning needs, they really do help make applying for any permissions completely stress free! Again many many thanks for all your efforts.

I appointed MZA to take care of submitting planning permission on behalf of my husband and I to build an outbuilding in our garden last year. In took lots of stress away from us as there were so many things that came with applying for planning permission that we simply did not understand. MZA were really efficient and constantly kept us updated throughout the process. We of course had our application GRANTED! We have since built our outbuilding but recently ran into some other, separate issues. I contacted MZA for some advice as I did not know who else to turn to and they were extremely helpful and empathetic which we really needed during that time. Due to taking their advice on board, the outcome was positive. I would absolutely recommend using MZA.

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.

In all areas the input from your company has been timely and professional…Applications have been progressed satisfactorily, with well-researched reports…In conclusion I would comment that your company has provided Elmbridge with much needed resources…Your personnel have fitted in very well into the Division and have provided a very valuable service.
