Good news for Loch Lomond and some very effective campaigning by everyone involved. Shame they did not do the same thing for #Turnberry.
And what dumbo thought that Flamingo Land was a name that would sell it?

The future of the gateway to Loch Lomond must not be decided behind closed doors. The National Park’s board held a full public hearing before unanimously rejecting Flamingo Land’s destructive plans. The Scottish Government must do the same.

Ministers have listened to our campaign and agreed to recall Flamingo Land’s Loch Lomond mega-resort application!
After the outrageous decision by an official to overturn the National Park board’s rejection of the destructive plans, over 50,000 of us demanded that Scottish Government Ministers use their power to recall the application.
Let's force the Scottish Government to 'think again' and cancel the destructive FlamingoLand plan for Loch Lomond! Sign now!
Scottish Greens:
Last week we heard the shocking news that a Scottish Government official would overturn the National Park’s decision to reject Flamingo Land’s mega-resort proposals and instead grant them permission to go ahead.
This would overrule the 155,000 objections, the Government’s own environment watchdog SEPA, the Park’s expert planning officials and plenty of others, and the unanimous democratic decision of the Park’s board.
I have been a loyal SNP voter for over 25 years, and briefly a member post Brexit, but that membership came to an abrupt end when Nicola Sturgeon’s government rode roughshod over the local planning process and the recommendations of its own experts to push through the luxury housing development at the Park of Keir near Bridge of Allan — I could not, in good conscience, be a member of a party that showed so little concern for the environment, had so little grasp of the twin environmental crises. Nevertheless, in the years that followed, I held my nose and, overlooking the shallow CO2 reductionism of its environmental policies, continued to vote for the SNP in the interest of the Indy cause. No more.
