1. Please confirm how many applications were made to establish a children's residential home in your local authority in the time period between 1 Jan 2015 and 1 Jan 2022
Planning applications are recorded in accordance with the Government development types and not according to the use proposed. The only way to find this information would be to search on the web site using the keyword search. https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/planning/
