Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and, if so, the effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
Whether or not any harm by reasons 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

What decided it

The substantial harm to Green Belt openness caused by the inappropriate development is not clearly outweighed by the modest and moderate benefits of sustainable design, biodiversity improvements, housing contribution and removal of the existing building.
