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, with particular reference to trees and biodiversity
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 potential loss of mature trees and resulting erosion of the site's verdant character, combined with the appearance of the monopole and cabinets as incongruous features and loss of biodiversity, was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved digital coverage.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 113
