Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
if the development is inappropriate, its effect on openness and whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would be inappropriate development causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness, and the limited design benefits do not amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development.
