A nine-strong traveller family has failed in another bid to gain planning permission to remain in static caravan homes in Gretna.
The Allan family, including two pensioners and a mum with six kids, had hoped to strike a compromise with Dumfries and Galloway Council by getting rid of one of their two large static caravans/chalets on an unauthorised site near Raydale Park Stadium.
The planning case officer had recommended that councillors should accept this concession and allow the site they’re living on to become a small scale travellers plot.
