ABERDEENSHIRE councillors approved plans today to expand US President Donald Trump’s north-east estate with a controversial second golf course and major housing development, dubbed Trump Estate.

Plans for the multi-million pound project were heavily criticised, with 2,918 objections submitted to the local authority, including a petition with almost 19,000 signatories.

However, councillors voted to approve the development, which includes shops, gym facilities and 550 luxury homes.
