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 having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The height, positioning and visual prominence of the proposed monopole would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area that was not outweighed by the benefits of 5G coverage, combined with insufficient evidence that less harmful alternative sites had been properly explored.
