Massive Opposition to Flamingo Land Waterpark Proposal

More than 150,000 objections have been lodged against Flamingo Land's proposed water park and resort on the banks of Loch Lomond, deemed the most unpopular planning application in Scottish history by the Scottish Greens. The proposal includes a monorail, 104 wooden lodges, shops, two hotels, and substantial parking facilities, threatening local wildlife and the area's iconic landscape. A decision on the proposal will be made on September 16, with calls from the Greens to end the exclusive agreement between the theme park operator and Scottish Enterprise if the application is rejected. The National Trust for Scotland and other conservation organizations have also voiced their opposition, citing environmental concerns. Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer emphasized the community's strong rejection of the plans, stating that the saga has exhausted residents over nearly a decade. The current level of objection far surpasses previous records, underscoring widespread discontent with the mega-resort plans.
