the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
whether the proposed development would result in an enhancement of the building's immediate setting
if the development is inappropriate, 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
