Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
The effect of the development on openness of the Green Belt
If the development is inappropriate, is the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, does this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause material harm to openness, with no other considerations advanced that would clearly outweigh this harm, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist.

The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not outweighed by any other considerations, and very special circumstances were not demonstrated.
