Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings with regard to outlook
- if any harm would occur, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The lack of realistic alternative sites to deliver the improved network coverage and capacity outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance.
