Planning permission refused for the following reason:

The proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and, therefore, harmful by definition. There would also be other harm to the Green Belt through encroachment into the countryside.

The proposal is, therefore, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework.
