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

I refer to your freedom of information request and apologise for the delay in replying.
Over the past 5 years we have received about 6500 applications. We do have an electronic system for identifying different types of COU applications, but it would then involve manual searching all the relevant records to identify the information you request.

As a short answer to your question I can tell you that there is 1 Starbucks in the Borough - this is located in a Sainsbury's food store. The café was originally run as a Sainsbury's café but then was taken over by Starbucks some 5-8 years ago (no change of use involved)

I hope this is of assistance.
Bob Etheridge
Head of Planning
