What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Ranmoor Conservation Area caused by the siting and appearance of the monopole was not outweighed by the public benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure, particularly given the lack of robust evidence that suitable alternative sites had been adequately assessed.
