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

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance caused by the prominent, incongruous siting and scale of the monopole and cabinets was not outweighed by the need for the installation in the proposed location, as the appellant had not sufficiently demonstrated that less harmful alternatives had been fully explored.
