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, and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its excessive height and bulk, and this harm was not outweighed by telecommunications benefits because the appellant failed to demonstrate that less harmful alternative sites were not available.
