Without any data to experiment with, I wonder if the Zonal Statistics As Table GP tool would do the job here. Are you able to share a sample of the data to experiment with?
Please ensure no record is selected in the attribute table of the buffer layer.
Here is what I get executing Zonal Statistics as Table on your dataset.

Thank you for your reply. I tried that and it looks promising but could not get it to work. I'm new to this so I am not sure what sample data to provide.
I have used Tabulate Area tool but that just gives each land use area for each clip and I only want the dominant land use in the buffer area.
So can't you just sort on what ever field got populated by the Tabulate Area tool and find the maximum?
Yes, but that does not preserve the category that the maximum came from which is what I am really after. I could do it for each line of data manually but I have hundreds. Thank you for your help and congrats on imminent retirement:)
This did finally work - thank you so much. One more quick thing - is it possible to know not just the majority category but the area of that majority (the sum of the area in the majority of a circle/buffer)?
Please ensure no record is selected in the attribute table of the buffer layer.
