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 surrounding area
the effect of the siting of the proposed installation on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposed monopole would integrate into the existing street scene as part of a group of comparable vertical structures (trees and lampposts) and would not appear unduly conspicuous or dominant, nor would it harmfully affect the outlook of nearby residents.

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
