The site is in the countryside where development is strictly controlled. The proposal seeks to remove the restrictive condition attached to the consent which would result in the building being occupied as ancillary to the main house. However, by virtue of the extent of the accommodation provided, the building would be tantamount to a dwelling in this unsustainable location, remote from any urban area and therefore distant from adequate services and facilities, such as education, employment, health, retail leisure and public transport. As a consequence, occupiers of the new 'dwelling' are likely to be dependent on private vehicles for most of their daily needs. Such fostering of growth in the need to travel would be contrary to government advice. The proposal is therefore contrary to advice given in the National Planning Policy Framework Policies S1, S3 and P6 of the Sedgemoor Core Strategy.
