Plans for Loch Lomond Flamingo Land resort stalled

by Rebecca

The Scottish government has stalled plans for a controversial holiday park at Loch Lomond.

Ministers had previously been set to give permission for the development, overturning the national park authority which said it did not comply with environmental and nature conservation policies.

Theme park operator Flamingo Land believed it would be given the go-ahead to build a £40m resort called Lomond Banks, featuring a waterpark, monorail, hotel and restaurants.

The Scottish government's Minister for Public Finance, Ivan McKee, has now said he will recall the plans because "the development raises issues of national significance in view of its potential impact on Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park".

He said: "This means that the appeal should be determined at a national level."

McKee has previously resisted calls for ministers to intervene in the decision to allow the plans to go forward.
