I'm not a fan of articles like this. There's so little detail on why the proposal was knocked back. It's impossible to know, by the end of the article, whether it was a good or poor action by the committee.

Anybody got the inside scoop?

    My guess given the comments about the other brigades in the shire is that using money to better provision the other brigades was considered a better use of funds than having an additional station. There are a lot of factors to balance in allocating funding, and spending the money to build a station to house a fire truck in that location might mean they end up with one less actual fire truck overall in the region.
