Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the barn and the area
Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be 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 constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by failing to preserve openness through the introduction of residential curtilage and domestic paraphernalia, and the very special circumstances put forward do not clearly outweigh this harm.
