Why it was refused

  1. The siting of the proposed development in an isolated location, divorced from any associated buildings, would give rise to an unnecessary and unacceptable detrimental impact on the landscape character of the area. Whilst the local planning authority accepts that there is a need for storage of machinery, the proposal as currently sited gives rise to unacceptable landscape harm, contrary to Policy LD1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
