Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities have approved planning applications for rabbit farms in each of the last five years for which data is available; and how many such farms were approved by each local authority in that period.

The requested information is not held by the Department. Although the Department collects information from local planning authorities on the numbers of planning applications decided each quarter, the numbers of applications relating to rabbit farms are not separately identified.
