I am old enough to remember the metrication board and how the country was going to be completely metric by 1975. I know councils will not accept planning applications unless fully metric, yet here is a government specifying dimensions in square feet and then converting the resultant figure to square meters. My first reaction to 6.52 square meters was where did they get such an odd figure? I now know that it is 70 square feet, no doubt the government scribe wrote it with his quill pen‽
