Donald Trump's masterplan for a £1 bn (EUR 1.4 bn) golf resort in Aberdeen, Scotland, has been rejected by Aberdeenshire councillors, according to BBC News. Last week, the American billionaire's controversial project received outline planning approval from a first committee of the Aberdeenshire council, but on Thursday it was rejected by the council's higher-up infrastructure committee.
The masterplan has been opposed by environmental groups and some residents, who say that the massive development would have a major impact on the environmentally sensitive area. The project consists of two championship golf courses, a 450-room luxury hotel, 950 short-term rental apartments and 500 homes on the 567-hectare Menie Estate owned by Trump.
