Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies and the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
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 proposed development

What decided it

The proposed development would result in a disproportionate increase in floorspace (over 100%) and would harm the openness of the Green Belt, and the other considerations did not clearly outweigh this substantial harm.
