I think the problem is that Dens Park may not be viable as a permanent home. What's the point of applying these rights to remain at a ground that is unable to provide the home for the future of DFC?
I am not saying that Dens cannot have a role, if the Campy plan does not work out, it's just that there seems no enthusiasm to even consider it.

Why would Dens Park not be viable as a permanent home?

I believe it's 100% viable if the correct development of it is completed. All you need is a stadium with access for players and staff, visiting team transport and (at a push) some away buses which is essentially what their Camperdown stadium plan is. FPS say Dens is unviable because it doesn't suit their other plans for housing, crematorium, Pizza Express etc. Just because it wouldn't be included in a development that could possibly provide other income doesn't make a stadium unviable.

I was once told by a certain person that the South Stand couldn't be developed because there might have been some toxic waste from Bowbridge Works used to bank it up when the place was built. That person could show me no evidence of this, couldn't even say what toxic substances were in use back then at Bowbridge, and backed off when I suggested doing some core samples - too expensive but the quoted at the time 20M GBP or whatever for Campy wasn't. The space available at the south of Dens Park is massive and could provide everything any football club would need, especially combined with the fact that the plan is to move football operations and all admin to a seperate training site.

ETA - the toxic material from Bowbridge hs been proven to be urban legend. Houses are now built on the site and that would never have been allowed if there was any question of toxic waste from the works.
