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 the development plan
if it would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations that would amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The scale of the permanent increase in built form would result in substantial harm to Green Belt openness, and the economic benefits put forward were not demonstrated to clearly outweigh this harm in the absence of evidence that alternative solutions had been reasonably explored.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Strategic Core Policy 7 (SC7)Saved Policy GB1
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 153Paragraph 154
