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
The effect on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, with regards to outlook
Whether any 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 siting and appearance of the proposed 15m monopole would result in significant harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, and the need for the installation was not sufficiently demonstrated to outweigh these harms given that less harmful alternatives had not been properly explored.
