1. The number of factory build planning proposals that have been rejected in your local authority year by year over the last five years (between 1 January 2017 – 31 December 2021), broken down by year?
2. Please can you also provide a breakdown of the reasons that each of these planning proposals was rejected in your local authority?

There is no planning definition of a factory. All planning applications are available on the council’s web site and therefore publicly available. Refusal rationale would be available on the website with the planning application, and the key word search could be used to filter out the applications.
