As a strategic planning user, I need to understand the volume and outcomes of retail and service development applications, including how they differ between major and minor development, so that I can assess how town centres, high streets and service hubs are changing and plan interventions in response to shifts in commercial demand and consumer behaviour.

Justification
Justification just-0057
The `minor` value in `development-scale` lets users identify applications classified by the local planning authority as minor development. Together with `application-types` and `decision-notice.decision`, this helps users segment decision outcomes for minor development. This partially supports PS1 and PS2 needs around smaller-scale housing, smaller-scale commercial and workspace development, minor industrial and storage proposals, smaller-scale retail and service change, traveller caravan pitch provision at minor development scale and uncategorised minor development. These needs are only partially satisfied because development scale and decision outcome do not by themselves provide the more specific proposal category needed to distinguish housing, commercial/workspace, industrial/storage, retail/service, traveller accommodation or uncategorised minor development.

Justification just-0052
The `development-scale` field records the local planning authority's classification of a full or outline planning application by development scale. The `major` value lets users identify applications classified by the local planning authority as major development. Together with `application-types` and `decision-notice.decision`, this helps users segment decision outcomes for major development. These needs are only partially satisfied because major scale and decision outcome do not by themselves provide the full development-type, use, floorspace, housing, employment, industrial, warehousing, retail or service detail needed for those reporting and monitoring questions.
