Back in the village where I used to live in England we ran into this same problem when plans for extending the village school went before the Council. There were three underground wartime ammunition stores on the outskirts of the village which are now used to store black powder for a display fireworks company.

The Health & Safety Executive initially blocked the school extension on the grounds that it was within the blast radius of the ammo dumps, but when it was pointed out to them that they were working from 1950s inventory statistics they withdrew it. It did cause a bit of a broughaha at the time though, as the blast radius enclosed most of the village.

Cheers

Great to hear and I understand that it's an aussie putting up the dough - not me of course...

I'm sure that the new course once developed will be a shot in the arm to the local area. I hope this new venture gets kintyre back on the prosperous road creating jobs and bringing visitors back each year...

It's true that Machrihanish is very well renowned, even here in Melbourne...Many golfers have Machrihanish on their map of courses to play when visiting from overseas...Things will only get better if another world class course is built...

I'm sure all the retiree caddies will be counting down the days to the new course opening :wink:

Its a while since this ones came up!

I was over on the nor east coast this week, big news last night on the news up there, Donald Trump was not getting his planning allowed to build a new top notch golf course to go along with his four he has already got in the states.

Maybe he should try the West Coast where the planning has already gone through fopr the potential one that has been mentioned here????

I heard a bit of a gossip suggesting he'd already had a look at the new one at Machrihanish but didn't take things any further.
