Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal scheme would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect on its openness
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to trees and the Cotswold National Landscape
If the proposal were 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 it

What decided it

The inappropriate development status of the fencing in the Green Belt, combined with the potential unacceptable harm to protected trees from the pod building and its negative visual impact on character and appearance, could not be justified by very special circumstances.
