Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 and relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Pinner Hill Estate Conservation Area
If the development is inappropriate, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal fails to constitute very special circumstances because the harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and the less than substantial harm to the conservation area character are not clearly outweighed by the limited other considerations advanced.
