Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt

What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM17
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
