#FailureFriday UPDATE: Environment agencies oppose Trump plans for Scottish golf course. Sad!
Environment agencies oppose Trump plans for Scottish golf course
US president’s resort wants to build second 18-hole links in Aberdeenshire but critics say it breaches sewage and pollution rules

The Trump Organization faces a long battle with Scotland’s environment agencies after they objected to its plans to build a new golf course on the coast of Aberdeenshire.
The agencies have told Donald Trump’s company its plans for a second 18-hole course at his Trump International Golf Links Scotland resort north of Aberdeen breach strict rules on sewage pollution, environmental protection and conserving groundwater.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa), which polices the country’s water quality and pollution regulations, has tabled formal objections to the proposed course unless the Trump Organization substantially revises its plans, and spends more on sewage and water supplies.
Aberdeenshire council, the local planning authority, has also been warned by the conservation agency Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) that it is unhappy with the location of the 18-hole course, to be named after Trump’s Scottish mother, Mary MacLeod, within the substantial dunes system which made the site so attractive to Trump.
