You cannot justify that any development "outweighs" the harm to the Green Belt.
We are, sadly, not able to communicate with the wildlife to ask them what harm your developments will do, so you cannot possibly measure if it "outweighs" it or not.
To you, the loss of an animal's home might not seem much, but to that animal you are destroying their whole world!
Put yourselves in the position of the wildlife in those areas, see it from their point of view before you make any judgements on what constitutes whether something is worth harming or not.
