This is Balloch and Loch Lomond at its pitch as far as I am concerned. What we have now is just about bearable in terms of the balance between beauty and human activity. If we allow a giant foot to come crashing into our midst, then this balance that is precarious enough, but still the cheerful balance Balloch always managed to tred, will become upended and we will rue the day, I mean it, rue it so hard we will be reviled for all time. We need to think long term, for ourselves and not follow a lead that is imposed from Edinburgh. Balloch IS successful. The area is teeming with activity and things to do. More than it needs at times. We need LOCAL enterprise, piecemeal, appropriate and organic. We have the talents and the skills. Why then would we support a 'plan' that removes us, our local businesses and our charms? For what?? For the sake of one developer's dominance? We know that is not a good idea - vast swathes of the vale have been destroyed because we leaned too heavily on one industry and a few hands in control. Let us not repeat that mistake with our natural asset and our tourist trade, please. Now is the time to write to LLTNPA with your objections. View the application and register your objections. It is vital you do so and the Park Authority prefer this way of objecting in any case. It is easy to do and ensure your objections are not made on grounds that can be rejected. I have submitted my own on the basis that the development is wholly inappropriate as it stands and that it threatens the economic balance of the area and sets a dangerous precedence as well as destroying the assets of ancient woodland, riverside access and a public bay used by families for generations. https://eplanning.lochlomond-trossachs.org/OnlinePlanning/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=P87LTZSIKOU00
