Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant Development Plan policies
if the proposed development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would harm the openness of the Green Belt and the limited economic benefits cited did not clearly outweigh this substantial harm, so the very special circumstances necessary to justify inappropriate development did not exist.
