[Talk-GB] Overpass Query: buildings more than 5km from a grocery shop

[SK53]

A discussion on IRC led me to I creat this, fairly simple, Overpass
<https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1q3Y> query <https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1q3Y>
to find buildings (as a proxy for people/urban areas) further than 5 km
from a shop=convenience or shop=supermarket. It's crude because it only
finds shops within an area not within an area with a buffer of 5 km. This
means places with shops just over the border in another local authority
show up.

However, trying it out on a few places in England and Scotland suggests
that it has some value for sense checking the data. Obviously it can be
used for other features (schools, places of worship etc), and no doubt
adapted for other purposes altogether.
