Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation, including any potential impact on nearby trees, on the character and appearance of the area, and 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 very significant weight afforded to the public benefits of providing improved 5G digital connectivity to an underserved residential area outweighed the significant and moderate harm to character and appearance, particularly as the appeal site represented the least harmful viable alternative.
