Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies

whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the modest benefits of housing supply and economic activity.
