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, and 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 siting and appearance of the proposed pole would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of a non-designated heritage asset, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation because suitable alternative sites had not been adequately demonstrated to be unavailable.
