Donald Trump’s real estate company won approval from a municipality in northeast Scotland to develop a site next to an existing golf resort the U.S. president owns.

Aberdeenshire Council voted 34 to 28 to approve the project, citing the economic benefits, a spokesperson confirmed. The Trump Organization submitted plans last year to spend 150 million pounds ($185 million) on the development, which includes 500 homes and 50 vacation cottages.
