Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the siting and appearance of the proposed installation would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The monopole's siting and appearance would not cause harm to the character and appearance of the area or to highway and pedestrian safety, as it would be a readily visible but not unduly prominent feature in a suburban context with existing tall elements, and would not obscure views or compromise safety.
