Aberdeenshire Council today granted full planning permission

DONALD TRUMP’S GOLF COURSE CONSTRUCTION

STARTS ON THURSDAY

Aberdeenshire Council today granted full planning permission for the construction of Donald J. Trump’s championship links golf course in the North-east of Scotland.
With full planning approval, work will commence later this week - on Thursday, July 1, 2010.
Commenting on Formartine Area Committee’s decision, Donald J. Trump stated: "Today my team will finally get to work and build the world’s greatest golf course for Scotland and for the great game of golf. We are building on the finest piece of land I have ever seen and we will turn it into a national jewel – people will travel from around the world to play the course and experience its beauty."
Appointed in February of this year, SOL Golf Course Construction Limited, the lead contractor for the construction of the golf course, will mobilise on July 1, 2010. Initial works will include the creation of construction access routes and compounds, and other associated infrastructure requirements, followed by the detailed shaping of the golf course.
Future detailed applications include the maintenance facility and clubhouse, which are currently being prepared for submission later this year. Detailed designs for subsequent phases will be presented in due course.
After more than four years of planning and development, The Trump Organisation has engaged over 20 leading Scottish consultants in the preparation of its plans, and has invested over £40 million to date.
Nine planning applications and a lengthy public inquiry have formed part of the rigorous process the project has undertaken in order to reach this stage. It is widely accepted that this project is the most scrutinised application in recent UK history.
Upon completion of all future phases, including the hotel, resort accommodation and leisure facilities, Trump International – Scotland is anticipated to generate an annual GVA of £50M and over 1200 permanent jobs.
The Trump Organisation wishes to express its gratitude to Aberdeenshire Council, the entire legal and project development team, and most importantly to the people of the North-east of Scotland who publicly supported the project.
The championship golf course is scheduled for completion in 2012.
