Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the MOL having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
effect of the proposal on the openness of the MOL
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 is inappropriate development in MOL that causes harm to openness, and there are no other considerations of sufficient weight to clearly outweigh this harm and establish very special circumstances.

Framework references: 148, 149

Plan policies cited: Policy LP13, Policy G3
