EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 19 (UPI) -- Donald Trump's company rejected a plan Sunday drawn up by environmental groups for his proposed golf resort on the east coast of Scotland.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and Environment Scotland says its alternative would allow a championship golf course while preserving a critical system of dunes, The Scotsman reported. The plan was drawn up by Mike Wood, head of the environmental committee of the European Institute of Golf Course Architects.
"We sincerely appreciate the RSPB's efforts at golf course design, but on initial examination, the layout would not constitute a links course and is certainly not a championship course," said George Sorial, in charge of the development for the Trump organization.
The American businessman's proposed development is controversial in Scotland. Backers say it will bring jobs, while critics say it is too big and likely would harm the environment.
