Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be 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 area
The effect of the proposal on the site's designation as part of a Nature Improvement 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 be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing moderate permanent harm to openness, and this harm combined with harm to the Nature Improvement Area is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
