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

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.

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!

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.

I am very happy with the service of MZA planning and I do recommend them to any one having problem about outbuilding.

We recently used MZA on a successful appeal of a planning refusal. They were knowledgeable, pragmatic and responsive, and very good to work with. I would use them again (though I hope not to fall foul of the planners again!). I would recommend them highly.

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.

I have read the email and delighted that the application is been successful. I will like to say thank you to you and your team for the good work. I’m very grateful. We pray that the appeal of front porch will be successful as well.

I have been dealing with MZA Planning for quite some time now and over the years I have been extremely pleased with the excellent level of service I have been shown. I appreciate and value their opinions and the direction they have given me over the years, helping me to navigate through quite complex Planning rules and regulations. I would strongly recommend anyone seeking Planning consultancy advice to speak to this firm, they won’t just tell you what you want to hear which is refreshing!

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 am extremely happy with the professional service provided by MZA Planning. I have to say I am really LUCKY! After a quick call with them, I was invited to go to their office for a free initial consultation. After meeting Yussuf, I knew this company is a real deal They prepared all documents within days and kept me in the loop at all times. Our appeal was allowed I called Yussuf straightaway as the first thing I’d like to do is to say ‘thank you’. Honestly, MZA helped me to build our dream house.. If you are in the similar situation, give them a ring. You’ll find out how they are. You can then make your decision from there. Thank you all again
