    MSP criticizes Flamingo Land’s decision to proceed despite flood risk

    Proposed Mega-Resort Development in Balloch Faces Environmental Concerns and Opposition

    Plans for a massive resort development near the village of Balloch in West Dunbartonshire have sparked controversy and opposition from various groups, including the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer.

    The proposed development includes the construction of two hotels, 104 woodland lodges, a waterpark, and a monorail on a site that was previously a railway until 1986. However, SEPA has raised concerns about the flood risk at the site where the lodges are planned to be built, stating that the developers need to address this issue.

    Greer has criticized the developers behind the project, calling them “grossly irresponsible” for ignoring SEPA’s warnings and pushing forward with their plans. He has urged the National Park Authority to reject the proposal, citing the negative impact it would have on the local environment and community.

    In addition to environmental concerns, the proposed resort has also faced criticism for the predicted increase in traffic it would bring to the area. Updated plans now show that there would be 253 additional journeys during peak hours, raising further alarm about the strain it would put on the existing infrastructure.

    Despite the opposition and concerns raised, Flamingo Land, the company behind the development, has yet to comment on the issues raised. The fate of the mega-resort project now rests in the hands of the National Park Authority, who will have to weigh the economic benefits against the environmental and social costs of the proposed development.
