Yussuf and Bho were great, they were patient and persistent with a very difficult planning dept at Hounslow – It was hard work but we got an acceptable result in the end!
Great service as always!
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.
Yussuf and his team proved invaluable in helping me deal with the bureaucracy and pedantry of the planning system. In my experience gaining planning permission can be very frustrating and time consuming but MZA dealt with this on my behalf with great professionalism and patience which led to a negotiated but positive planning decision for me. I wouldn’t hesitate in using the planning services of MZA again.
Well knowledgeable, high professionalism – very reliable, excellent service
We used MZA Planning twice for householder appeals and won both times! They provided an excellent, efficient service and gave realistic advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Simon and I wanted to thank you and your team for your help with the trials and tribulations of our planning application. We’re thankful to have received approval, despite the ironic timing in the middle of a global pandemic so we can’t start work! But at least it’s over the line and we’ll work out a way to make the house habitable. We appreciate your calm and reassuring approach throughout a period of high stress for us. We would recommend your services to others.
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.
Thank you for your effort and a great job you have done to obtain the licence for our operational minicab office. We will be in touch with you for any further services we need in future.
I appointed MZA to take care of submitting planning permission on behalf of my husband and I to build an outbuilding in our garden last year. In took lots of stress away from us as there were so many things that came with applying for planning permission that we simply did not understand. MZA were really efficient and constantly kept us updated throughout the process. We of course had our application GRANTED! We have since built our outbuilding but recently ran into some other, separate issues. I contacted MZA for some advice as I did not know who else to turn to and they were extremely helpful and empathetic which we really needed during that time. Due to taking their advice on board, the outcome was positive. I would absolutely recommend using MZA.
