On Wednesday the Board of The Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority voted 12-10 to refuse planning permission for a gold mine at Cononish near Tyndrum.
Inevitably the media have polarised it into in a conflict between conservationists who don’t want development in the National Park, and those who want the economic benefits it will bring to the area.
The planning issues are inevitably more complicated than that, and the report to the Board is well worth a read.
According to the media the gold mine company have said that an appeal is likely to be submitted.
