Commenting on the Park of Keir decision, Keith Brown MSP said: "This announcement brings clarity on this project for local communities.
"I am aware that the decision taken will be very disappointing for many local people, whose views I have ensured have been fully represented throughout the process.
"As the plans develop further, I will continue to ensure that all my constituents views are represented and that the conditions imposed by the Minister, which appear to address some of the main concerns raised, are adhered to."
