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, including the setting of Buile Hill Park, a Grade II Registered Park and Garden
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 alternatives

What decided it

The demonstrated need for the installation to provide 5G coverage in the area and the lack of realistic suitable alternative sites, when weighed against the moderate harm to character and appearance, justified allowing the appeal.
