Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The effect of siting and appearance of the proposed installation on highway safety
The potential impact on the Grantham Canal
Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The proposed monopole would be a visually prominent and incongruous feature that would harmfully affect character and appearance, compromise highway and pedestrian safety at a busy junction, and potentially impact the Grantham Canal, with insufficient evidence that alternative sites had been adequately explored.
