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

Broom, Doreen,

Dear Mr White

Further to your request for information under the Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002 relating to the above I am now able to respond.

I shall adopt your numbered questions in reply:

Over the last 5 years:

1. The Council has received 93 planning applications featuring
a change of use from A1.

2. Of the planning applications received in 1. above none of
these were retrospective.

3. The Council has received no planning applications from
Starbucks or their representatives featuring a change of use from A1.
As the Council does not hold this information it is exempt under Section
17 of FOISA.

4. As we have not received any of the applications in 3 above
the answer is nil. Again, as the Council does not hold any
information on this it is exempt under Section 17 of FOISA.

I hope you are happy with the Council's response but have to advise that
you have a right to request a review of this response within 40 working
days of receipt of this e-mail. You should either e-mail
