Development of Trump's course in Aberdeen required disturbing 4,000-year-old coastal sand dunes. Despite local opposition efforts, the Scottish government approved the proposal, finding that economic gains would outweigh environmental costs.[1]

“The initial plans for Trump's Aberdeenshire resort -- near Balmedie, on the northeast coast of Scotland -- called for the destruction of 4,000-year-old coastal sand dunes, leading to protests from local residents. An action group with the name Tripping Up Trump was even formed to prevent the construction of the 1-billion-pound (then about $2 billion) project, opposition that led to the documentary You've Been Trumped. Ultimately, Trump got his way, with ministers voting in 2008 in favor of the course's construction, deeming the economic benefits to outweigh the environmental cost. (New York Times, July 27, 2015)”
