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 whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

The proposal would result in significant unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area as a dominant and discordant feature that would fail to integrate with its surroundings, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation or by the absence of demonstrated suitable alternatives.
