Dune Wars

The shifting dune systems in Aberdeenshire are a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest because of their rare plants. In spite of this, the Aberdeenshire council have (even after appeals) given full planning permissions for the creation of a second golf course there for Donald Trump (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/17/new-trump-golf-course-provokes-fury-in-scotland). This is in spite of condemnations by conservationalists and the fact that Mr Trump's promised jobs bonanza in relation to the first golf course (on the same site), never materialised. I never cease to be amazed at the short-termism that is often apparent in planning departments. It's not just a good walk that is being spoiled.
