apologies if this is not the case.

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

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,

Dear Sarah,

I'm not really comfortable with publishing my full address on the
website, so I'd ask you to proceed without it, as an e-mail address
counts as an address under FOI.

Yours sincerely,

Matt White

do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further assistance in
this matter.

Yours sincerely
