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.
“I was so glad when I heard our appeal was successful. A massive thank you to you and your team! I will also recommend you to my family and frinds and my local contacts”.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at MZA planning for their excellent and professional service. I had contacted other planning companies before coming across MZA, but I did not get the same positive vibe as when I first met with Yussuf. MZA were the only company who readily came out on a site visit to understand my situation first hand. Their prices were also very reasonable compared to another company that charged me more for a few hours of work compared to MZA for the whole case. I had Yussuf and Bho dealing with my case and they are clearly very knowledgable in their fields as they understand all planning issues, what is likely to be granted and what isn’t etc along with a full understanding of the relevant policies that would relate to my case. When presenting the case, they laid out all my arguments to the council in a very professional and concise manner and all backed up by the relevant policies and documents referred to by the council. I also want to say a big thank you to Anita who dealt with a lot of my phone calls and is always very calm and professional, even when I was very stressed. I am glad to say that I won the case thanks to MZA, even when the council made it seem impossible. I will definetly be using them for any future planning issues and I have no hesitation in recommending them to everyone, whether it be for residential or commercial planning. Thank you once again for everything.
Great professional service and super friendly team. Thanks MZA for your help in handling the planning objection case in a short time frame.
“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!”
I was very happy with the service all the way to the successful end.
-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
Dear MZA, Thank you for all your hard work in winning the appeal against Hounslow Council’s decision to refuse planning for a wraparound and loft extension at Netheravon Road property in Chiswick. Most of the other companies I approached were not confident in handling the appeal and said there was little chance of the appeal being successful. You, however, believed that there was a good chance of having the appeal upheld, even if it was on a split decision. I am extremely happy with your work and have since recommended your company to other who are in a similar situation to mine.
Thank you for your effort and a great job you have done to obtain the licence for our operational minicab office. We will be in touch with you for any further services we need in future.
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
