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 that harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The proposed pole would represent an incongruous and intrusive addition to the street scene resulting in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that is not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, particularly given the unresolved discrepancy regarding whether the location is necessary to serve the coverage gap.
