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
the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, with regards to outlook
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 siting and appearance of the 25m monopole would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and unacceptable harm to the outlook of nearby residential occupiers, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation given that less harmful alternatives had not been properly explored.
