“Extremely reliable. Good Result, took quite a long time but that was in no way the fault of MZA. Was good at letting me know just what was going on always”
“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 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”.
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
“I can only thank you and the rest of the team for your help with this successful appeal. We’ve been impressed by the quality and professionalism shown throughout. We wouldn’t have reached this outcome by ourselves”.
I was very pleased with the result, however, it took time.
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.
MZA had to conduct a demanding process of negotiation with, on the one hand, the multi-disciplinary design team taking on board the complexities of legislation and on the other, the local planning authorities. MZA are thorough in all aspects of the parts of the assignments they undertakes, despite the complexities he has been able to develop good working relationships on all fronts and is productive, not least in the patient preparation of responses to difficult multi-facated queries and scrutiny.
Thank you very much for all your help and professionalism throughout this process. It has been a pleasure working with you.
Good service I have used their services three times. Very satisfactory, I will use them in future when I need.
