Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the operational development, the retention of field shelter and hay store, is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
Whether the operational development causes any harm other than by reason of inappropriateness
Whether there are any material considerations that outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness and other harm such that very special circumstances exist

What decided it

The field shelter and hay store building, despite its modest size and sympathetic materials, is prominent and harmful to both the spatial and visual openness of the Green Belt and conflicts with the purpose of safeguarding the countryside from encroachment, with no very special circumstances to outweigh this harm.
