Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area; the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, and the operation of air traffic services at Liverpool John Lennon Airport
If any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternative sites

What decided it

The modest harm to character and appearance is outweighed by the Framework's support for expanding electronic communications networks and the benefits of upgrading an existing site to serve two operators, avoiding the need for further base stations in the area.
