A 'Trumpian' bid to build 78 luxury houses to fund a £3.6million golf club upgrade has been backed by councillors despite concerns over its community benefits.
Dunbar Golf Club and Cala Homes applied for planning permission to build houses on the land to enable an expansion of its facilities including a new clubhouse, golf academy and driving range.
The move was backed by East Lothian Council planners, who pointed out an original application for a similar development had already been granted more than a decade ago.
