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
whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness 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 an agricultural building necessary for the operations of the smallholding and therefore falls within the NPPF paragraph 154(a) exception for agricultural buildings in the Green Belt, making it not inappropriate development.
