PAPERS lodged with planning officials show what Flamingo Land bosses aim to bring to Balloch.

Their proposals 105 holiday lodges, a 60-bed aparthotel and budget accommodation for 32 people.

Architects have also drawn up proposals for a monorail, swimming pool and water park.

The scheme includes provision for a tree-top walkway and forest adventure facility, as well as restaurant and brewery space with pub facilities, as well as 20 houses.

Additional visitor reception and hub areas are planned, as are children’s play areas, with space also set aside for live performances.

The blueprints, available to view on the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park website, also include picnic areas, a 320-space car park and landscaping.

The facade of Woodbank House, a grade-A listed building, would be retained and developers would enhance tree planting along the River Leven to “encourage a greater mix of native trees” and bring in other plants common to the region.

But the application also anticipates “habitat loss” for red squirrels and “injury and fatality” to them and otters. Compensatory measures would be introduced.
