SCOTTISH Greens urged Scotland’s government today to “come clean” over Loch Lomond Flamingoland’s planning process, claiming it was “tainted by bias.”

Proposals to build two hotels, a waterpark, more than 100 woodland lodges, 370 parking spaces, a monorail, shops and restaurants close to Balloch in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park have been the most opposed in the history of Scottish planning.

More than 155,000 individual objections have been lodged, as well as from organisations such as the local Balloch & Haldane Community Council, the National Trust for Scotland, the Woodland Trust, and the national park authority itself, which rejected the plans earlier in the year.

After an appeal from the developer however, the final decision will rest with Scottish government ministers.

But now campaigners have raised concerns that key documents — including letters criticising the application and its handling — have been removed from government websites.

The move was described as ”highly unorthodox” by the National Park’s lawyers, while Green MSP Ross Greer’s representative has warned it risks resulting in the process being “tainted by bias.”

Mr Greer commented: “This is bang out of order from the Scottish government. 

“People in Balloch are trying to keep some faith in this process, but it’s getting pretty tough when their government has made such questionable decisions, refuses to answer any questions — and is now removing key documents.

“I raised serious concerns about whether this process is even lawful and the National Park Authority has also been ringing the alarm bell. 

“It’s time for them to come clean. My constituents in Balloch deserve an answer from their government here, otherwise this looks like a total cover-up.”

The Scottish government was contacted for comment.
