>More than 50,000 people have written to the SNP Government calling for the approval of the controversial Flamingo Land development on the shores of Loch Lomond to be removed, the Greens have said. Green MSP Ross Greer said planning minister Ivan McKee must “listen to the Scottish public” on the Lomond Banks proposals. However, ministers have so far refused requests for the plans to be “called in”.
>Last month, the Government’s reporter granted an appeal and approved planning permission in principle to the Lomond Banks development, but placed 49 conditions on the application. Under the £43.5m proposals, Lomond Banks would see two hotels, more than 100 lodges, a waterpark and monorail built on the site at Balloch, West Dunbartonshire.
>However, the decision has incensed environmental and conservation campaigners, who have long opposed the development and say it will lead to the “irreversible” loss of woodland.
No wonder, when the Greens and the media keep referring to it as “Flamingo Land”. How many of those 50k people have actually looked at the plans?
What absolute shite.
Just saw that on the National, it’s good news. I have doubts the Government will actually listen though, considering how much the SNP love tourism.
Flamingo lands should be good to go. Look at centre parks absolute success.
That’s a lot of crayons
The current loch lomond shores bit is absolute shite. It’s boring and it looks really dated.
It definitely needs a new lease of life.
I don’t know enough about the plans to say if it’s a good alternative or not but sure anything is better than the current offering?
