Security to be beefed up at Donald Trump's luxury Ayrshire hotel and golf resort
The planning proposals come in the wake of an act of vandalism which took place at Trump Turnberry in the early hours of Saturday, March 8.
Plans are in place to beef up security at the luxury hotel and golf resort in Ayrshire, owned by US President Donald Trump.
Ayrshire Live can reveal that plans have been lodged to erect new wrought iron gates to various entry points to the five-star resort.
The planning proposals come in the wake of an alleged act of vandalism at Trump Turnberry in the early hours of Saturday, March 8.
Pro Palestinian group, Palestine Action, later claimed responsibility for the vandalism which saw red paint daubed on the clubhouse and damage caused to the greens.
A message reading 'Gaza Is Not For Sale' was left in large white lettering on one of the resort's greens too.
So far seven people has been arrested and charged in relation to the damage.
Now five new wrought iron gates are to be strategically placed around the resort, including at the hotel entrance, the clubhouse, the lighthouse, the caddyshack and near the Lands of Turnberry Apartments and Cottages.
Agents in the proposals are Glasgow firm 3D Reid and the applicants are Trump Turnberry.
The proposals are listed as 'pending consideration' on South Ayrshire Council's online planning portal and a decision on them is expected in August.
News of the planning application follows the announcement from Trump Turnberry that the iconic Ailsa course reopened at the start of June following an eagerly anticipated £1m renovation.
