Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether any adverse effects from the proposal's siting and appearance in the street scene would be outweighed by its public benefits
What decided it
The monopole would be an unduly prominent and incongruous feature within a relatively open part of the street scene, and the public benefits of improved connectivity would not outweigh the harm arising from its siting and appearance.
The public benefits of improved 5G and mobile connectivity were outweighed by the harm arising from the monopole's siting and appearance in the street scene.
