FLAMINGO LAND’S revised plans for a holiday resort on the banks of Loch Lomond have broken planning law, legal experts claimed today.

The latest proposals to build 100 self-catering cottages, two hotels, a water park, and a monorail on the edge of Scotland’s first National Park, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, come after earlier attempts were met with a flurry of objections including from the local council, the Scottish Greens, the National Trust for Scotland, the Woodland Trust and Ramblers Scotland.

Flamingo Land had hoped that revisions to their plans would meet the concerns raised, but they have again been criticised by local Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer and leading planning law expert Ian Cowan.
