Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the Framework
the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
whether the proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area
whether any 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 proposal

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which, by definition, is harmful and carries substantial weight, and this harm is not clearly outweighed by the limited and unsubstantiated security and safety benefits claimed.
