Sustainability in Aberdeenshire
The Trump affair has been big news here and has now
moved onto the next stage:The Scottish Government has intervened and called in Donald Trump's application for a £1 billion golf resort after it was rejected by local planners.
The objectors to schemes like this always talk about "sustainability" as if that trumps (!) any other consideration. But what is meant by sustainability? I never hear any of the green lobby acknowledging that mankind sustains itself by relentlessly altering the environment. If we didn't, few of us would survive beyond adolescence or indeed birth. I remember reading some years ago of a golf course development in (I think) Ayrshire being rejected by the local planners on the grounds that it would "intrude onto the green belt"! That says it all I think.
