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

“Excellent and efficient services. Very reliable company, did achieve results for us in regards to our Full planning Application for a Place of Worship and Day Centre, will highly recommend MZA to anyone!”

“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!”

MZA helped me with a tricky loft extension to navigate Ealing Council and the planning rules that they seem to apply in a fairly inconsistent manner, depending on who you talk to. I concluded that it helps hugely to have a professional team to deal with the council and MZA were excellent in planning and presenting a novel approach to make planning approval a no-brainer. The team (Bho, Yusuf and Anita) were excellent and got me through the process with a minimal amount of stress, so if you are dealing with council planning, I would recommend a talk with MZA – you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

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 so much, Yussuf and Bho, for the professional way you very promptly prepared and saw through my appeal against a negative decision concerning a wrap-around single storey extension. From my initial free consultation to the receipt of the decision some three weeks ago you were always willing to explain things to me by phone or email which was useful and reassuring. I have already been singing your praises locally and am only too delighted to highly recommend mza planning.

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.

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.

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 would like to thank you for all the work you have put into helping us getting the planning permission. I am very pleased in the efficiency you have shown us and will be getting in touch when I require any further work carried out.

I would like to thank you yet again for your exemplary service in winning our appeal. Always easy to contact and discuss any concerns even though the same questions have probably been asked time and time again. I thank you for your patience and time.
