Appeal. Send the planning officer photos of your view over the scrap yard and ask them to outline their concerns for the plans, and if there is anything you can do to allay those concerns. Make it seem like you're working with them.
The easiest thing they can do with any planning application is to reject it, so try to make it easy for them to accept it.

Planning application rejected by LB Lewisham.
On the grounds that our proposal would have "a negative visual impact on the rear elevation of the property".
We were proposing to turn a flat roof into some outdoor space and erect privacy screens, so as not to overlook our neighbours.
"a negative visual impact on the rear elevation"
We live next door to a scrap yard which comprises of 6 rusting shipping containers piled in threes.
Negative. Visual. Impact.
Fuckers.
