Council sack planning chairman and fully support Donald Trump application for TrumpScotland £1 billion golf complex

Posted by admin under A-Class Celebrity, General, Latest Golf News

The Scottish council which had previously thrown out the application for Donald Trump’s controversial £2bn golf complex in Scotland today gave it the green light after the Scottish executive stepped in.

However, despite the council’s U-turn, the final decision will still ultimately lie with the Scottish cabinet secretary, John Swinney, after the planning application was “called in”, following an outcry over the initial rejection.

Aberdeenshire councillors gave the US property developer’s proposals for a 566-hectare site in Balmedie their “full support” at a special meeting and sacked the chair of the council’s infrastructure services committee who had used his casting vote to block the plans.
