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 of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and setting of the listed building
Whether the 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 proposal

What decided it

The containers constitute a permanent building causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness and character with no very special circumstances to justify approval, whereas the hardstanding has negligible impact on the Green Belt and complies with relevant policies.
