Email lobby of MSPs over Coul Links golf course decision

28 November 2019

The latest newsletter from the Scottish Wildlife Trust includes an invitation to join a mass email lobby of MSPs, organised  by a consortium of environmental and conservation groups, in an attempt to persuade Scottish Ministers to reject an American company's planning application for a golf course on Coul Links, north of Dornoch. 

 

The application was the subject of a public enquiry earlier this year, and the Reporter's recommendations have now been submitted to the Scottish Government.  Interested members of the public are being asked to put their names to a pre-written email to their MSP, who is automatically identified from their address.  Obviously such mass-produced identical emails promoted by an interested organisation will carry less weight than a more individual one, so respondents are encouraged to edit the email to make it more personal.

The coastal dunes at Coul Links are the subject of three separate scientific/conservation designations, and many environmentally-minded people believe that the original planning application for a golf course on the site should have been rejected out of hand for this reason.
