Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
whether 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 required to justify the proposals

What decided it

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

Development plan policies: Policy H/13Policy S/4
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 149Paragraph 11
