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
