MZA Planning

We have use the services of MZA planning for over 10 years, We run a small architectural practice in East London. We used the services of a MZA planning to undertake all our appeals. Yussuf is very professional and I have had a over 90% success rate in appeals. This is mainly because he doesn’t take on a project unless he believe there is a more than reasonable rate of success. Showing great integrity. I would highly recommend his services.

I recently worked with Tom Wessely and MZA Planning on a planning appeal and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. Despite being promised a professional and thorough approach, I found the service provided by MZA Planning to be rushed, uncoordinated, and ultimately unsatisfactory.From the outset, the process was rushed, with little time given for me to provide input or feedback. Despite my attempts to get updates on the progress of my case, communication was lacking, and I was often left in the dark. This lack of transparency left me feeling frustrated and concerned about the progress of my appeal.Overall, my experience with Tom Wessely and MZA Planning was extremely disappointing. I would strongly advise anyone considering using their services for planning appeals to look elsewhere for a more reliable and competent service.

We had the pleasure of working with MZA Planning to obtain a lawful development certificate for our property. From the initial consultation to receiving the certificate, the team displayed nothing short of professionalism and efficiency.Their timely responses and in-depth expertise significantly streamlined the process for us. Furthermore, the advice given on the specific type of planning required for our intended purpose was invaluable. The clarity they provided not only guided us through the complexities of planning laws but also gave us peace of mind.I highly recommend MZA Planning for anyone in need of planning consultation and services. Exceptional service all round.

We had a great experience with MZA planning advice and Courtney in particular. Excellent knowledge in planning law, council guidance and how to manoeuvre in a complex and new environment. We were pleased by their professionalism and tactical advice

I can highly recommend MZA planning for helping navigate the planning process. I had a planning application stuck with Ealing Council for around 15 months without any progress whatsoever and a complete failure of communication from the council, when a friend recommended that I engage the services of MZA. As soon as Yussuf, the proprietor of MZA was on board, we started getting responses from the council and had regular dialogue with them. It required a lot of pushing from Yussuf, but he is in contact with the planners for several projects, so he has access and clearly knows the levers to pull to get things done. Although the council was still fairly useless, MZA got our application over the line to an approval within a few months of getting involved. I am quite certain I would still be waiting if I had not hired MZA for the job.

I am not the easiest client, however my MZA team under the amazing leadership of Yusuf, lovely Charlotte (very patient), and my hero Courtney have twice helped me achieve the granted certification of lawfulness required to fulfil my business goals.I am not only grateful, I am humbled by the excellent team work, and passion that they have for their clients.Whilst I am an expert in some areas I pay experts to help me achieve my goals, where I am not. I will be using MZA planning in the future, thank you for your support :[)

We appointed MZA planning to help us with our change of use appeal / removal of condition 3 of planning. They made a retrospective and planning application for our existing patio area ( Approved 3 1/2 yrs ago ) fitted with electric blinds with translucent material for which my neighbor took an objection to . However, it was turned down by LBH.MZA made house holder planning appeal on our behalf and eventually It was approved by government Inspector.Mr Yussuf and his team was very professional & knowledgeable.The whole experience was totally stress free.We think it was money worth spending for our Disable Autistic son's outdoor enjoyment while he is using the garden especially in Winter months. He is an outdoor person.Well done MZA ! We are extremely happy with the outcome.Our special Thanks to Gabrielle & Monica for supporting throughout.

Approached MZA for our change of use application as we wanted to increase chances of a successful application first time round. I did find that I had to prompt and push MZA for progress updates at the beginning. However, we were later given a point of contact and this helped. Our application was also successful so all in all, positive experience.

I've required MZA service for two seperate applications in the past 18 months. One of them a complicated HMO application and the other one in a conservation area and both got approved. I did have to liase with the Council and they're not magic workers however if there's a possibility MZA will give you the best chances. Highly recommended, will continue using them for future builds.
