Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the development on the landscape and biodiversity
The effect of the development on the water environment and quality
Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposals on the openness of the Green Belt
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 development

What decided it

The development is inappropriate in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to its openness and character, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to outweigh this harm.
