Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, the effect on highway and pedestrian safety, and, if any harm is identified, whether it would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance caused by the scale, height and siting of the monopole was not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme or the need for installation at the proposed location, particularly given the inadequate justification for why alternative sites had been discounted.
