I want clarity on this. Why is the first use being prescribed in order that the second use be prescribed? I want clarity and some explanation of why we are doing this. We are saying that a change from one prescribed use to another is a change of use, which will require planning permission. I want to know why it matters what it was before it becomes a settlement item. Maybe what we are saying is that in order to keep chippers open, they cannot be made into shoe shops. Maybe that is what we are at, but I just do not see the sense of this.
