The Trump Organization faces further conflict with Scotland’s environment agency after its revised plans for a second golf course near Aberdeen were rejected as inadequate. There is a long history of conflict between the Trump Organization and conservationists over environmental protection on the site. “It is clear that connection to the public sewer was agreed as part of the original golf course proposal before this new golf course was proposed,” Sepa told the council last week. Trump’s company, Trump International Golf Course Scotland, now run by his son Eric, had to employ a specialist ecological clerk of works to inspect the construction work every day, Sepa said. The dunes naturally move and change shape, but the company plans to stabilise and wall them up.
