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
if there is any harm, whether this would be 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 significant harm to character and appearance arising from the siting and appearance of the monopole was not outweighed by the telecommunications benefits, as the appellant had not adequately demonstrated the absence of suitable alternative sites.
