Latest Flamingo Land development near Loch Lomond rejected
The Scottish Government said it's concerned about it being a flood risk.
The Scottish Government has rejected controversial proposals for a Flamingo Land development on the shores of Loch Lomond.
It's the latest move in a row between the theme park operator and people living around the area who're against the development.
Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority initially rejected the plans in September 2024 before the Scottish Government appealed the decision last year.
However, it has since stopped the development from going ahead due to "flood risk, woodland loss and wider policy conflicts".
Scottish Greens co-leader, Ross Greer, said: "Ross said: “I’m absolutely delighted that we have saved Loch Lomond and defeated Flamingo Land’s destructive plans.
"This is a huge victory for the local community and for the historic campaign we built over the last decade.
“Today’s decision would not have happened without the 155,000 people who joined us in objecting to these daft plans.
"Every one of them was crucial in securing the rejection. This is their victory. People power has protected Scotland’s most iconic landscape from this greedy corporation.
“It’s not hard to understand why this became one of the biggest environmental campaigns in Scottish history.
"Loch Lomond means so much to people across the country. Objections came in from every corner of Scotland, but it is the residents of Balloch who deserve so much of the credit today."
