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
the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on pedestrian movement
if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking account of any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The lack of suitable alternative sites to meet the telecommunications requirements, combined with the essential nature of advanced communications infrastructure for economic growth and social well-being, outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance and minor pedestrian inconvenience.
