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 and the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings
Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the visually dominant mast, combined with the availability of potentially more suitable alternative sites to meet the identified 5G coverage need, meant the harm was not outweighed by the necessity for the proposed siting.
