You gave me the confidence to feel that it was all going to be worth while in the end. Many, many thanks for all the work you did on my behalf.
“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”.
We found your assistance and presentation to be of a very high standard. You kept us informed of all aspects of the case. As you were well aware, we have come up against quite a few obstacles with the Council, but with your skill and expertise in conversing with the relevant people, we had overcome these obstacles. We feel the money spent on obtaining planning permission was money well spent. If we did not contact you we’re sure the Council would have had their way and forced an enforcement order on the premises, thus putting so many people out of work. We were quite surprised how quickly the whole process took from start to finish. We did expect it to take a lot longer than it did
I was very pleased with the result, however, it took time.
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.
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.
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.
“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!”
