Ruskin Lodges are located in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park - a special landscape rich in wildlife and heritage. A massive development on the loch's shores, a 'Flamingo Land' resort, was proposed resulting in over 155,000 letters of objection. Organisations like the National Trust for Scotland, Woodland Trust, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the local community council and even Loch Lomond's own expert planning officer also objected and the original plans were rejected unanimously by the national park's planning board in September last year.
However, Scottish Government ministers have the power to override the decision and have indicated that they will approve plans, purely on (perceived) economic grounds.
As guests and supporters of Ruskin Lodges, can I ask that if you care about Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, planning democracy and the environment, submit a letter via this link (it has lots of pre-populated text which you can edit) and share widely. https://greens.scot/LochLomond
Thank you.
