Why it was refused
- Due to the sites' location within open countryside, it is located within an unsustainable location for employment uses, where there would be the reliance on the use of the private car. No justification has been provided with the application to demonstrate the reasons why the proposal should be located at this site and therefore the application fails to comply with West Somerset Local Plan (up to 2032) policies OC1, EC9 and TR2.
From the council's decision notice.
