Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is considered to be unacceptable in that, whilst the need for the dwellings in operational terms has been established, the dwellings would be sited in a relatively isolated location, with no justification, and no subsequent visual link or built relationship to the existing farm hub, contrary to Dumfries and Galloway Local Development Plan Policies OP2 and H3, and National Planning Framework 4 Policy 17.

From the council's decision notice.
