Flamingo Land (Lomond Banks) | Topical Question Time | Scottish Parliament debates

I have had the benefit of reading the report, but I say to the minister that the A82 has insufficient capacity to carry the volume of existing traffic, never mind more traffic being added to it. When there is the slightest bit of sunshine, the A82 becomes a car park as people from across Scotland flock to Loch Lomond. Flamingo Land will make the position worse.

The minister will know that the reporter’s decision flies in the face of expert evidence, the unanimous decision of the national park authority, the view of SEPA and the overwhelming majority of local people. I am bemused that the reporter’s opinion outweighs the opinions of all those ministerial appointees and expert agencies and, indeed, the view of my local community.

Therefore, will he take the time to visit the site, talk to local people and, on the back of that, review all the decision making and call in the planning application?
