David Milne, a near neighbour of the Trump golf course in Scotland, and the US presidents most vocal local critic, said the claim that Connery helped him land planning permission for his golf resort was utter bollocks.
Milne said Connery had never played the course, despite Trumps invites.
But Martin Ford, the Aberdeenshire councillor who was chair of the planning committee that initially refused Trumps application to build the resort, told the Guardian: Mr Connery was not involved in the due process that led to the granting of planning permission for a golf resort at Menie. He did not submit a letter of representation to the council, appear at the planning hearing, or at the public local inquiry.
Ford added: Opinions offered in press articles are not material considerations in decisions on planning applications.
Former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond said: Scotland and much of the world is mourning the loss of a great spirit. Sean Connerys contribution and lifes work was immense, real and lasting and everyone with an ounce of class is reflecting upon just that today. Tributes are great from all sources but this is not a time for tweeting silly claims or indeed responding to them.
