Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, most notably in terms of the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets

What decided it

The harmful impact on the setting and significance of the Grade I listed Church of All Saints West Ham, combined with the failure to demonstrate that the appeal site was the least harmful location for the telecommunications infrastructure, outweighed the public benefits of improved network coverage.
