The National Planning Policy Framework makes it clear that inappropriate development is harmful to the Green Belt and 'should not be approved except in very special circumstances'.

The Council has not demonstrated 'very special circumstances'; indeed the authority's own documents show ample suitable land is available without the need to violate the Green Belt.
