Subject: Planning application for Trump International Golf Links, Scotland Resort Development
This petition relates to the planning application for the development of an international golf and leisure complex at Menie Estate, Aberdeenshire, Scotland proposed by the Trump Organisation.
The proposed development includes 500 houses, 1000 holiday homes and a hotel (on eight floors) to provide 450 units.
We, the undersigned, wish to object to the application on the following grounds:
The development will take a serious toll on the natural environment, if it goes ahead. Scottish Natural Heritage has concerns about the proposed destruction of the site of special scientific interest (SSSI).
Although we are not against progress, this development seems to ignore all that we have learned in the last few years about the acceleration of global warming.
Democracy is at risk. The proposal is in breach of planning principles and resolutions that have been in place for many years. These may be pushed aside in order to satisfy the demands of the Trump Organisation.

This is a typical case of so called economical benefits overshadowing the environment more local people will benefit from this golf development not going ahead than will if it does.

The significant irreversible negative environmental impact of this proposal must not be ignored in favour of alleged unproven economic benefits. We owe it to the nation and future generations not to desecrate our remaining wild places for the short term p

The haste of Scottish politicians to unquestioningly fall at Donald Trump's feet over this ludicrous proposal is an obscene insult to the people of Scotland whom they supposedly represent. Shame on them.

A gross intrusion visually and environmentally. I visit the area for recreation and would be most unlikely to do so if the development goes ahead. The development is so large that it will suck in labour from outside the area and the employment benefits wi

We have enough golf courses in the NE without having to build another on an environmentally sensitive area and an SSI. This is a plan to build a housing scheme with an associated golf course and we seem to be bending over backwards to suit an unsubstantia

If this is being viewed as a development of national importance then I feel I have a right to comment although not resident in Aberdeenshire. This application is in breach of the current local development plan and overlaps a protected site of special scie

Totally unacceptable development that would destroy our unique coastal habitat. The housing proposal is of course the main reason for the application and rides roughshod over local plans. Do we really need yet another golf course, the smokescreen for the

I object to the proposed Trump development at Menie estate near Aberdeen on the grounds cited in this petition and on the basis that the venture has not demonstrated it is commercially viable in the medium to long term. The construction of 500 houses (a s

I strongly object to this development proposal because of the serious environmental damage that it will cause to the SSSI whilst the scale of the built development that is proposed will be totally out of keeping with this rural area.
