Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and any relevant development plan policies
the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area, which would be contrary to the design and local distinctiveness objectives of both the development plan and the NPPF, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery.

The moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling and economic benefits from construction and future occupiers' use of local facilities were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance.
