Data broken down into each of the specific categories requested is not available. However, the Valuation Office Agency publishes its non-domestic stock of properties here: http://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/non-domestic-rating-stock-of-properties-including-business-floorspace-2021

Relevant data by Special Category (SCAat) Code for retail premises, large food stores/superstores and shops can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/992133/NDR_Stock_of_Properties_Tables_RV_bands_by_area_2021.zip

This links to a number of files, including two which provide relevant data by SCat code for English region, and for England:

  • SCAT_AREAS_N_ALL (showing frequency of count)
  • SCAT_AREAS_RV_ALL (aggregated rateable values)
