Search the Public Notice PortalTHE Scottish Government have rejected plans to build a Flamingo Land resort on the banks of Loch Lomond, after they were approved and recalled.
The application was the most unpopular in Scottish planning history, with more than 150,000 people submitting objections.
The £40 million proposal for the resort included plans for more than 100 holiday lodges, two hotels, a waterpark, a monorail, 372 car parking spaces, shops, and more on the site called Lomond Banks.
In September 2024, the Yorkshire-based theme park operator, Flamingo Land Ltd, had their planning permission in principle rejected by all 14 board members of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs Planning Authority.

In June 2025, the Scottish Government's Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) then gave notice that the reporter in charge of the case would allow the appeal for the resort despite intense backlash.
Now, plans for the development at Lomond Banks have been recalled by Scottish Ministers.
Organisations such as the National Trust for Scotland, the Woodland Trust, the Ramblers, and the Scottish Government environment watchdog, SEPA, also raised objections against the plans.
Scottish Greens co-leader Ross Greer, who assisted in leading the campaign against the resort, said he was "delighted" by the news and called the decision a "huge victory" for locals.
“It’s not hard to understand why this became one of the biggest environmental campaigns in Scottish history," Ross said.
"Loch Lomond means so much to people across the country. Objections came in from every corner of Scotland, but it is the residents of Balloch who deserve so much of the credit today.
“Flamingo Land tried to wear them down, exhaust them and outspend them over a decade, but they never gave up their efforts to save the gateway to Loch Lomond. Everyone in Scotland owes them a debt of gratitude."
He further added: “My message to Flamingo Land today is simple; walk away. This community and the people of Scotland have told you time and again that your destructive plans are not welcome. It’s time to accept that verdict and end this saga. We have saved Loch Lomond.”
