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 or not it has been demonstrated that the proposal would be compatible with the use of the adjoining golf course with specific regard to player distraction and safety for future occupiers

What decided it

The appellant has not demonstrated that measures are in place to mitigate safety concerns regarding the compatibility of the proposal with the adjoining golf course with specific regard to the safety of future occupiers.

The economic benefits to the golf club and the well-established fallback position were outweighed by the failure to demonstrate adequate safety mitigation for future occupiers.
