Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of designated heritage assets, trees and the setting of a non-designated heritage asset
If any harm is identified whether that harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the monopole would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of designated heritage assets that would not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits of improved 5G connectivity, and the proposal fails to demonstrate adequate tree protection.
