Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether any harm would be outweighed by other considerations, including the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the monopole would cause unacceptable harm to the surrounding area, and insufficient evidence demonstrated that no less harmful suitable alternatives to the appeal site existed.
