A major tourism development on the shores of Loch Leven would be “inappropriate and unwelcome”, according to a heritage watchdog.
Kinross-shire Civic Trust (KCT) claim the multi-million pound proposal for 80 to 90 holiday chalets and a café/visitor centre at Burleigh poses a real threat to the world-famed national nature reserve.
“The nature and scale of development proposed would have a significant and detrimental impact due to the close proximity of the planned location to Loch Leven,” said a spokesperson for the trust.
The company handling public consultations prior to an application being lodged said it was “a work in progress” and technical consultants were currently examining environmental issues.
