Highland Council votes to grant permission for golf course development despite overwhelming opposition. The Conservation Coalition asks for your help to stop this.
Councillors voted by eight in favour, six against to allow the plans by developer C4C for Coul Links, near Embo in East Sutherland, against the advice of Highland Council’s own planning officers, and in the face of almost 750 objections including from statutory consultee NatureScot, Scottish Government’s advisers on nature.
The Conservation Coalition is extremely disappointed and very concerned by Highland Council’s decision to grant permission for the plans and is now calling on Scottish Ministers to step in to save Coul Links from development.
A previous, very similar, proposal was refused by Scottish Ministers in 2020, due to significant adverse impacts on the nationally and internationally protected sites for nature. Over 13,000 people supported that campaign, and once more they are asking for your help.
Raise your voice in support of saving Coul Links and ask Ministers to reconsider the plans by signing this e-action. It only takes a few minutes of your time.
Thank you.
