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, having particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tettenhall Road Conservation Area
if any harm is identified, whether that 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 visual harm caused to the character and appearance of the Tettenhall Road Conservation Area by the siting and prominence of the monopole and cabinets was not outweighed by the public benefits of 5G provision or justified by adequate consideration of alternative sites.
