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

Dear Thelma,

That's correct, agents who have submitted a planning request on
behalf of Starbucks. If there have never been any such requests in
East Lothian, I think you've just answered questions 3 and 4!

Yours sincerely,

Matt White

Dear Thelma,

Thanks for that, and apologies for asking for information
applicable to England rather than Scotland! You were absolutely
correct with your assumptions, and the information's just what I
needed.

Thanks for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Matt White
