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 and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance caused by the scale, siting and prominence of the monopole was not outweighed by the telecommunications benefits, particularly as the appellant had not demonstrated that the appeal site was the best available option for minimising the effect of the development.
