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

The time taken to achieve the result was excellent.

I found MZA to be very efficient and organised company. The fact that 36% of their fee is payable upon appeal being allowed, shows they are confident in handling the appeal. My appeal took just under 4 weeks to be allowed, this must be a record. MZA must have a magic potion!!! I will recommend them to everyone.

We are utterly delighted that MZA got us sorted out when we’d previously had consent denied for an application we submitted ourselves. Yusuf is knowledgeable, efficient & pragmatic, finding solutions to suit us very well.

A reliable and excellent service.

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.

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.

“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!”

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

I would like to thank you for all your work concerning our application for planning permission. We found you exceptionally helpful and efficient and feel you alleviate all the stress we have felt previously when going through the planning permission process. It is such a relief to know I will never have to do it again thanks to you and I will certainly be recommending you in the future. Although we were always kept up to date with the situation it was reassuring to be able to pass the load over to your company and we feel the money spent on your input was well spent.

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.
