Officers say members should agree to formally back the proposals if road improvements are included as a condition on planning being granted.
Flamingo Land’s plans for a £40million holiday resort in Balloch look set to be given backing from councillors.
Crucially however developers have also pledged to upgrade the congested Stoneymollan Roundabout in Balloch, after concerns from locals, with a legal funding agreement in place with Transport Scotland. And it says that a Monorail - proposed to take visitors between Station Square and the pierhead is a “particular attraction”.
“The development proposals would be positive in terms of increase in local employment opportunities and increase in tourism numbers to the local area which could also benefit local businesses and traders.” Green MSP Ross Greer, a vocal opponent, said: “Flamingo Land’s arrogant dismissal of SEPA’s flood warnings just shows how grossly irresponsible this company is. They are not fit to take over one of the most important spots on the shores of Loch Lomond.
