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

Results speak! I was pleased and sure you achieved a result faster than I could have done.

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.

“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 found the team at MZA very knowledgeable, helpful & professional. As you would expect from a firm that specialises in planning appeals, they cover all basis to ensure the highest chance of success. The fees are very reasonable especially when you consider you pay 50% to submit your appeal and the other 50% only if successful, which ensures the agent will do everything to ensure your success. I would highly recommend anyone during an appeal stage but also worth considering for people with ambitious plans at planning stage.

Delighted with approval, time taken perfectly reasonable.

Thank you very much for all your help and professionalism throughout this process. It has been a pleasure working with you.

Highly recommend them . Professional service

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.

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.

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