Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (2021) and any relevant development plan policies
if the proposal is inappropriate development, its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether or not the 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 fallback position under permitted development rights, which would have greater adverse impacts on the Green Belt's openness than the appeal scheme, provided very special circumstances to justify the proposal.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy EE14
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 137Paragraph 147Paragraph 149

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
