Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a dwelling, having particular regard to local planning policies
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 with significant harm to openness and an unsuitable location, which cannot be clearly outweighed by the modest benefits offered.
