Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies

What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to meet any of the exceptions in NPPF paragraph 154, and the material considerations in support do not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to justify the harm.
