Endinburgh, Scotland. Workers are clearing rocks and other debris

from the site Wednesday after planners at the Aberdeenshire Council

granted permission. Trump was given permission last year to build

the resort featuring a five-star hotel, 1,200 homes and two

international-standard golf courses north of Aberdeen. Grass will

be planted from November to March on an environmentally sensitive

stretch of sand dunes to stabilize the beach for development into a

championship golf course. Some local residents who oppose the

project have threatened legal action, claiming violations of

environmental laws and planning procedures.
