Scottish Councillors Reject Trump's £1bn Golf Course

Councillors have thrown out US tycoon Donald Trump's plan for a £1bn golf resort and complex in north-east Scotland.

The members of Aberdeenshire council's infrastructure services committee rejected a planning application for the Trump International Golf Links Scotland in a close vote today.

The Formartine area committee had earlier approved outline planning permission for the development at Menie Estate near Balmedie, just north of Aberdeen.

But members of the more powerful infrastructure committee voted against the proposal.

Members were deadlocked at 7-7, and the casting vote on rejecting the decision was made by the committee chairman, Martin Ford.
