Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed outbuilding would constitute 'inappropriate development' in the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the openness within the Green Belt

- If so, whether there are other considerations which clearly outweigh the harm caused by being inappropriate development so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The carport is inappropriate development in the Green Belt by definition, and the benefits claimed do not clearly outweigh this harm to constitute very special circumstances.
