“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!”
…Many Thanks for your service, very quick, reliable and competent.
MZA planning have been very proactive throughout the process and I was impressed by their professionalism and commitment to achieving a positive outcome from the outset.
We recently used MZA on a successful appeal of a planning refusal. They were knowledgeable, pragmatic and responsive, and very good to work with. I would use them again (though I hope not to fall foul of the planners again!). I would recommend them highly.
We found Bhoseok Nam to be very knowledgeable and professional. He kept us well informed and communicated well with the planning authorities. And his efforts led to an expeditious and satisfactory result. Very impressive.
“It has been a pleasure working with MZA. A very professional service that gave me the result I was hoping for: Change of use for my new shop premises.A big thank you to Jorge. He did really well and communicated clearly at all times. I would definitely recommend!”
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.

The results were very quick – I thought it would have taken longer – all very quick – MZA were terrific, when I first phoned them I was in a bad way – they kept me calm told me to send everything to them and they basically sorted everything – very efficient – I had all faith in them and they did it all – very very happy for all he has done for my business – Thank you.
…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.
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
Our StoryOur planning consultants oversee a range of cases on a daily basis, including: applications, pre-applications, enforcement appeals, appeals, certificates of lawful development, duty planner service & architectural drawings. In addition, I have personal experience working within the planning departments of councils across the country and experience as an Inspector for the Planning Inspectorate. These gave me a unique insight into the system.
