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
whether the siting and appearance of the proposed installation would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of an adjoining allocated housing site with regard to outlook
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 lack of any identified suitable alternative sites to deliver improved coverage and capacity, combined with the significant social and economic benefits of the installation, outweighed the limited harm to character and appearance.
