Haha, I read that as use glass, so I was ready to read about how I should use glass on a certain frame that otherwise wouldn't have it.
Now that I've read it properly I'm not sure what my business use class is. :Slap:

Commercial property is classified by the local planning authority into various use classes depending on the permitted business activity. Retail for instance is A1, restaurants A3, light industry B1. I'm interested to know whether other gallery/framing shops come under A1 or B1 I suspect the former.

Where would I find this class? Is it on my business rates letter? (Which I don't have to hand!)
