Scottish Greens Urge Rejection of Loch Lomond Resort
News summary

The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority is set to vote on Flamingo Land's controversial £40 million proposal to develop a mega resort at Balloch, which has faced strong opposition from the Scottish Greens and local communities. If rejected, the Greens argue it should definitively end the proposal, which has been contested for nearly a decade and has garnered over 150,000 objections. Planning officials have recommended refusal, citing the project's scale as incompatible with the park's preservation goals. The development includes two hotels, over 100 self-catering lodges, and a water park, but opponents label it as cultural and environmental vandalism. The Scottish Greens also call for the termination of an exclusivity deal with Scottish Enterprise should the plans be rejected, emphasizing the prolonged distress caused to local residents. The decision is anticipated to be a significant moment for the future of Loch Lomond's natural landscape.
