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 surrounding area, including the setting of the Endon Conservation Area
Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking account of suitable alternatives

What decided it

The demonstrated absence of other suitable alternative sites within the required search area combined with the social and economic benefits of enhanced connectivity and 5G delivery outweighed the less than substantial harm to the conservation area setting.
