Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
If found to be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this amounts to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that causes moderate harm to openness, and the other considerations advanced do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
