Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
the effect on the character and appearance of the area
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 proposal

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify approval.
