Cameron House Hotel restoration approved

THE owners of fire-hit Cameron House Hotel have been granted permission to carry out restoration works.

A planning application was lodged in November to demolish and replace parts of the main hotel building, which was destroyed in the blaze.

Permission was granted by Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority officials.

The fire, in December 2017, claimed the lives of two guests – Simon Midgley and Richard Dyson, from London.

It broke out at the category B-listed building near Balloch early on December 18, 2017, leading to the evacuation of more than 200 people.

Owner KSL Capital Partners set out the full extent of the work in 95 planning documents, describing it as a “careful and sensitive restoration” of the building.
