Plans for £85m wildlife attraction in Scotland
POSTED 29 Apr 2013 . BY Jessica Tasman-Jones
The £85m development would consist of three biospheres
Wildside World is sharing plans with the local Glasgow and South Lanarkshire communities for an £85m wildlife and environmental development.

The attraction would be situated at Cuningar Loop, opposite the Glasgow Commonwealth Village, and consist of three biospheres: polar, temperate and tropical.

It would also have restaurants and a hotel and open shortly after the 2014 Games as a legacy project.

Detailed plans will be submitted in summer but Wildside World, along with partners Sir Robert McAlpine and Ashley House, is currently canvassing local opinion.

Cuningar Loop has sat derelict for 40 years but planning permission was recently approved for a £5m woodland park.

Steve Minion, director of Wildside World, said: "The consultation events are an opportunity for us to share our vision with the local people and unveil some of the images of what Wildside will be like, and what it will bring to the region."
