Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and the relevant development plan policy
the effect of the proposed building on the character and appearance of the locality
if the 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 development

What decided it

The proposal is materially larger than the buildings it replaces and causes harm to Green Belt openness and character, with no very special circumstances to justify the inappropriate development.
