A former Dumfries and Galloway councillor is looking to develop a chunk of his land in Dalbeattie for housing.
David James, who represented the Castle Douglas and Crocketford ward from 2017-2022, was back in the council chambers on Wednesday seeking planning permission for the construction works.
Mr James has separated a 3942m² stretch of land north of Barhill Road into 12 plots for new-build homes – but has come up against opposition from residents in nearby Queens Grove.
