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

What decided it

The monopole's unreasonable and disproportionate height relative to surrounding street lighting poles and buildings would make it an overly dominant feature that fails to meet design requirements for well-designed digital infrastructure, and this harm outweighs the benefits of providing mobile coverage.
