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 Mr White,

Thank you very much for your Freedom of Information request received
electronically on 3 August 2009.

After liaising with Caroline Hunt, Principal Planning Policy Officer and
David Rush, Head of Development Control, I can confirm that we, as a
local planning authority, have not replied to the recent review into the
extent and impact of housing development on garden land.

If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Kind regards,

Rachael Fox

Dear Mr White,

My sincere apologies for not replying to your FOI request earlier.
Unfortunately, I got your request muddled with another within the
Planning department.

The information you are requesting is freely available from the
Council's website. Details of all planning applications are for public
information and can be found at:
http://egov.scambs.gov.uk/planningapps/p...

If you go into the link above, click on the navy button 'advanced' it
will take you into a more specific search. You can select '5 years'
from the date period box. Under 'general description' you can select
'(C/U) Change of Use' then go to the bottom of the search and press
'search'. Hopefully, this will bring back all the information you will
need.

If you need any help or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Kind regards,
