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

What decided it

The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to constitute very special circumstances.
