唐纳德·特朗普总统在苏格兰亏损的特恩贝里高尔夫度假村本周遭遇了又一次挫折，当地官员提出了一项发展计划，挫败了该公司通过建造更多住宿和房屋来创收的希望。
高尔夫度假村是卷入利益冲突的争论中在发现美国空军人员中途在附近的普雷斯特威克机场加油后，他们通常会在特朗普拥有的豪华酒店住宿，费用由国防部承担。
南艾尔郡议会现已公布其提议《地方发展计划2》根据该法案，特朗普·特恩贝里计划开发的地区将继续作为主要农业用地受到保护。该计划正在公开磋商中，当地议员将对其进行投票表决。
“我们将保护现有的高尔夫球场，并将鼓励高尔夫设施的发展和改善，”该计划指出。“我们一般不会允许我们认为可能对特恩贝里和皇家Troon作为公开锦标赛场馆的地位产生负面影响的发展。”
它还指出:“优质农业用地被视为一种国家有限资源，除非我们认为开发是合理的，否则应予以保护，使其免于开发。”
南艾尔郡议会发言人证实苏格兰人特朗普家族提议开发的土地不建议根据该计划进行出让。
特朗普·特恩贝里没有立即回应新闻周刊的评论请求。
当特朗普组织在2018年向南方艾尔郡议会展示其计划时，官员们并不信服。特朗普组织曾希望该土地能在《地方发展计划2》中重新分类，并建议如果发生这种情况，他们可以迅速行动。
当时，该委员会的规划部门称特朗普组织的住房和别墅计划的好处“未经证实”苏格兰人报道称，这将导致主要农业用地的损失，并造成“显著的视觉影响”
这些担心现在已经在提议的计划中实现了。如果特朗普组织仍希望开发毗邻苏格兰西海岸度假胜地的主要农业用地，它将面临说服当地规划者的高门槛。
该计划指出，发展必须符合当地发展战略，是满足既定需求所必需的，是与农村商业直接相关的小规模发展，也是生产可再生能源所必需的。
四年来，特朗普·特恩贝里一直亏损。2017年，苏格兰高尔夫娱乐特恩贝里的母公司亏损338.3万英镑(415万美元)。上一年，它损失了1762万英镑(2164万美元)，2015年损失了839.6万英镑(1031万美元)，2014年，特朗普接手的那一年，度假村损失了360.3万英镑(443万美元)。其2018年的账目很快就会到期。
众议院监督委员会正在调查特朗普·特恩贝里、国防部和普雷斯蒂克机场之间的关系。
五角大楼向委员会透露，自2017年以来，在特恩贝里附近普雷斯特威克机场加油中途停留期间，五角大楼花费了185，000美元安置人员，比特朗普当选总统前两年增加了189%。
2018年7月14日，唐纳德·特朗普总统在苏格兰格拉斯哥西南部特恩贝里拥有的豪华高尔夫度假胜地特朗普特恩贝里的艾尔莎球场打高尔夫球时散步。扩建度假村和建造房屋的计划遭到拒绝。
DONALD TRUMP'S TURNBERRY GOLF RESORT HOUSING AND EXPANSION PLANS SHOT DOWN BY LOCAL OFFICIALS
President Donald Trump's loss-making Turnberry golf resort in Scotland suffered another setback this week as local officials proposed a development plan that scuppers the business's hopes to generate revenue by building more accommodation and houses.
The golf resort is embroiled in a conflict of interest controversy after it emerged that U.S. Air Force personnel stopping over to refuel at nearby Prestwick airport routinely stay in the Trump-owned luxury hotel at the expense of the Department of Defense.
South Ayrshire Council has now revealed its proposed "Local Development Plan 2" under which the areas targeted for development by Trump Turnberry will remain protected as prime agricultural land. The plan is under public consultation and local councillors will then vote on it.
"We will protect existing golf courses and will encourage the development and improvement of golf facilities," the plan states. "We will not generally allow development which we consider may negatively affect the status of Turnberry and Royal Troon as venues for the Open Championship."
It also states: "Prime-quality agricultural land is seen as a national limited resource which should be protected from development unless we are satisfied the development can be justified."
A spokeswoman for South Ayrshire Council confirmed to The Scotsman that the land proposed for development by the Trump family was not recommended for release under the plan.
Trump Turnberry did not respond immediately to Newsweek's request for comment.
When the Trump Organization showed its plans to South Ayrshire Council back in 2018, officials were not convinced. The Trump Organization had hoped that the land would be reclassified in the Local Development Plan 2 and suggested they could move swiftly if that happened.
At the time, the council's planning department called the benefits of the Trump Organization's housing and villa plans "unsubstantiated," The Scotsman reported, and that it would result in the loss of prime agricultural land and cause "significant visual impacts."
Those concerns have now come to pass in the proposed plan. If the Trump Organization still hoped to develop the prime agricultural land, which is adjacent to its resort on the Western Scottish coast, it faces a high bar to convincing local planners.
The plan states that development must conform to the local development strategy, be necessary to meet an established need, of a small scale which is directly related to rural business, or for generating renewable energy.
For four years now Trump Turnberry has made losses. In 2017, Golf Recreation Scotland, the parent company of Turnberry, lost £3.383 million ($4.15 million). The previous year it lost £17.62M ($21.64M), in 2015 it lost £8.396M ($10.31M), and in 2014, the year Trump took over, the resort lost £3.603M ($4.43M). Its accounts for 2018 are due shortly.
e relationship between Trump Turnberry, the Department of Defense, and Prestwick airport is under investigation by the House oversight committee.
The Pentagon revealed to the committee that it had spent $185,000 on putting up personnel at Turnberry during their refueling stopovers at nearby Prestwick airport since 2017, up 189 percent on the two years before Trump became president.
President Donald Trump (C) walks as he plays a round of golf on the Ailsa course at Trump Turnberry, the luxury golf resort he owns in Turnberry, southwest of Glasgow, Scotland, on July 14, 2018. Plans to expand the resort and build housing were rejected.
