Plans for Flamingo Land, which were rejected by the Scottish Government, are being appealed.

Ministers cited concerns about flooding risk and woodland loss when they announced what they described as a “finely balanced decision” in February this year.

Now, according to Clyde 1, plans for the £40m holiday park are being appealed by developer Lomond Banks.

Bosses say they have issues with "the way Ministers reached their conclusion" and say they're going to court.

Jim Paterson, Development Director for Lomond Banks, told the broadcaster: “Having reviewed the Scottish Ministers’ decision in detail, we believe there are fundamental issues with the way in which Ministers reached their conclusion, and that it is appropriate for these to now be examined by the court.

“Lomond Banks remains a major opportunity for Balloch and the wider area, with the potential to deliver significant investment, jobs, regeneration and lasting economic benefits.

“As this matter is now subject to legal proceedings, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.”

Clyde 1 says that the Scottish Government is refusing to comment.
