Dear Mr White,

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated the 29th of July
2009, below. In response to your enquiry I must inform you that the Town
and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 relates to England and Wales
and that the term A1 is not a Scottish Planning term.

In Scotland there is the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Scotland)
Order 1997. This would appear to be the most appropriate Scottish
legislation with respect to your request. I would suggest that the Scottish
equivalent for the A1 term could be identified here.

I hope that this information is to your satisfaction. If there are any
problems please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are dissatisfied with the way in which East Dunbartonshire Council
has dealt with your request, you are entitled to require the Council to
review its decision. Please note that in order for a review to take place
you must:

- Lodge a written requirement for a review within 40 working days of the
date of this letter
- Include a correspondence address and a description of the original
request and the reason why you are dissatisfied.
- Address your request to the Freedom of Information Officer:

Yours sincerely

Planning Applications featuring
Change of Use from A1

Dear Sir or Madam,

I believe you are an authority with planning responsibilities
(according to http://www.theplanningdirectory.co.uk/au...),
apologies if this is not the case.

Can you please let me know the following relating to planning
applications featuring a change of use from A1 (shop), under the
Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987.

In the last 5 years:

1) How many planning applications have you received featuring a
change of use from A1?

2) Of those applications in 1, how many of these were
retrospective?

3) How many planning applications have you received from Starbucks
(or their representatives) featuring a change of use from A1?

4) Of those applications in 3, how many of these were
retrospective?

Yours faithfully,

Matt White
