Why it was refused

  1. The application site is not in a suitable location for the proposed development. The proposed development would cause substantial harm to the openness of the site and as a result would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt. No very special circumstances exist to clearly outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness or any other identified harm.

From the council's decision notice.
