Campaign to Stop Donald Trump Golf Destroying our SSSI Sand Dunes at Menie, Aberdeenshire
Eco-Essentials fully support Sustainable Aberdeenshire, a group of concerned local residents who oppose the proposed Trump Golf Resort & Housing Development at Menie Estate, Balmedie, Aberdeenshire.
Sustainable Aberdeenshire have not given up on Menie. Remember, only "OUTLINE" Planning Permission has been granted. An application for Full Planning is still to follow and of course this can be objected to as well. So you know what to do, right? It's not in the bag yet Donald.
NEW PAGE COMING SOON: Fetternear Estate, Kemnay next to be under threat from housing development - This is a significant planning matter that will deviate from the Aberdeenshire Local Plan. 77 houses on land not allocated for housing. Please consider if this is sustainable development? View the plans and decide for yourself and make your voice heard if this is important to you before it's too late. http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/planning/apps/detail.asp?ref_no=APP/2008/3890 Remember the dangerous precident the Scottish Government set with approving the Trump outline application???
Support Sustainable Aberdeenshire - Stop Trump Golf & Housing Petitions:
Sustainable Aberdeenshire oppose the development of a New Town (Trumpton) on Undeveloped Coast, an Area of Landscape Significance and on a legally protected Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI):
2 golf courses (we have 70 courses in Grampian already)
8 - 12 storey tower block 450 bedroom hotel
400 unit staff accommodation tower block (not jobs for locals - minimum wage service jobs)
36 luxury golf villas
950 luxury holiday appartments in tower blocks
500 exclusive £700,000.00 houses
Sustainable Aberdeenshire object because it would completely destroy the SSSI and a unique 4000 year old dynamic sand dune system which is the fifth largest in the UK, and one of the last remaining in the world. The whole area is classified as Undeveloped Coast and the development plans are unsuitable for such a beautiful & peaceful area, are completely against the Aberdeenshire Local Plan and will have detrimental effects on other protected areas such as RSPB Forvie Sands Nature Reserve further up the coast, not to mention the quality of life for people living in Aberdeen and the Shire.
Global warming can only be accelerated by this sort of development that relies on air & car travel resulting in increased carbon emissions. Sustainable Aberdeenshire are keen to support sustainable development of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
The planning application and Public Local Inquiry documentaion can be viewed on the Aberdeenshire Council Website:
Please don't be fooled by the Trump Media Machine because all profits will be fed back to Trump and local people will be exploited.
This development must NOT be allowed - Please help us in our campaign to preserve our quality of life and DUMP TRUMP GOLF IN THE BUNKER! Support Sustainable Aberdeenshire.
