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 falls within the Green Belt exceptions for building alterations and engineering operations that preserve openness, and would not cause harm to character and appearance given the screening provided by existing hedgerows and the rural context.
