Thank you for your help on this! Very happy with the work of MZA
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.
“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 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.
Just a few lines to thank you for all your help in getting me my planning permission. I found you most professional at all times and you kept me up to date of movements at all crucial times.
I was most impressed with the manner and efficiency by which you undertook our planning issues with Hounslow Council. I was particularly happy with the approach you employed and of course your full understanding of the particular complex legal issues in my case.
“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 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.
I would confirm that the services provided by MZA Associates to be extremely good. We have found the service to be very reliable with their knowledge of town planning being of special use in our own particular application. The planning permission was given in good time and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
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.
