Why it was refused

  1. The siting of the proposed development in an isolated location, divorced from any associated buildings, this may 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 straw, hay and fodder, the proposal as currently sited may give rise to unacceptable harm to the landscape and therefore, prior approval is refused.
  2. The siting of the proposed development would be within 8 metres of a significant multifuel pipeline. Within the scope of assessment permitted under Part 6 Class A of the GPDO, it is not possible to determine if the proposed development would have an adverse impact upon this asset.

From the council's decision notice.
