Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, and no very special circumstances exist to justify it.

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and erosion of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations which carried only modest weight, so very special circumstances do not exist.
