Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the MOL, including any effect on openness, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
if the proposal would be inappropriate development, 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 it

What decided it

The proposal would cause substantial harm to the openness of the MOL as inappropriate development, and the limited benefits identified do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
