Officials deleted key documents opposing resort

MSP Greer says it adds to fears of 'stitch-up'

- BY DAN VEVERS

THE Scottish Government has scrubbed documents blasting its handling of the Flamingo Land planning application at Loch Lomond.

Correspondence criticising the conduct of Holyrood officials as “unlawful”, which we reported last week, has since been deleted from the government's website.

We have also seen a letter from Scotland's chief planner refusing to answer concerns from a lawyer over the legality of the process.

Our findings have raised fears of a “stitch-up” to approve the Yorkshire theme park operator's £43million resort in Balloch, Dunbartonshire.
