     1   Q.   Yes?  To your application then, which I cannot remember the
     2        date of -- March 1991.  That was to actually to open at
     3        all, was it?  No, that was the frontage, was it not?
     4        "Granting planning permission for the erection of an
     5        entrance canopy"?
     6        A.  Right, that must have been for the construction
     7        department.  That is not within my area.
     8
     9   Q.   So this was before the store opened, yes?
    10        A.  I do not know.
    11
    12   Q.   Yes, it must have been.  If we move on to 746, if we just
    13        note in the middle of that page, (f), there were
    14        predictions; because of the date order it is difficult to
    15        say.  I presume that is the original application on the
    16        amount of environment/index.html">litter ---
    17        A.  This is again -----
    18
    19   Q.   -- that could become a problem, yes?
    20        A.  This is -- again it has nothing to do with me.
    21
    22   Q.   Right, OK.
    23        A.  This is for, I think, application to open McDonald's
    24        there or something.
    25
    26   Q.   If we move on to 751, this seems to be page 3 of what
    27        starts actually on pages 753 and 754, pages 1 and 2, dated
    28        2nd March 1993, licensing hearings.  This is for your
    29        extension, yes, of time?
    30        A.  Right.
    31
    32   Q.   If we note that page 751 -- so were there a lot of
    33        complaints in the year before preceding that, that
    34        extension application, do you remember?
    35        A.  That is before my time.  I do not get involved ----
    36
    37   Q.   No, 2nd March 1993?
    38        A.  Right.
    39
    40   Q.   Look at page 73.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are some completely separate.  The first
    43        document you were asked to look at is a report of the
    44        person who is, effectively, the chief planning officer for
    45        the local planning local authority to his committee for
    46        them to make a decision.  We have now moved on to a
    47        document with a similar purpose, but in relation to the
    48        possible grant of a night cafe licence, that is the extra
    49        hour.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  753 is the actual heading. 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It starts on 753, as Mr. Morris pointed out
    54        to you, it appears to go on to 754 and then end on 751.
    55
    56   MR. MORRIS:  If we look at 753 which is dated 2nd March 1993,
    57        the hearing is, did you get in the year prior to that many
    58        complaints about all aspects of McDonald's business?
    59        A.  No.  Sometimes there had been misunderstandings.  For
    60        example, people could hear some water trickling over at
