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
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the setting of the nearby listed buildings
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, 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 weight afforded to Green Belt harm as inappropriate development, combined with less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting, was not clearly outweighed by the limited private benefits, meaning very special circumstances did not exist to justify the proposal.

- Policy S6Policy H8Policy ENV2
