Wimbledon Expansion Plan Advances After High Court Ruling
Plans to almost triple the size of the Wimbledon tennis site have moved a step closer after the High Court ruled the development was not restricted by land-use rules. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club wants to build 38 new tennis courts and an 8,000-seat stadium by developing a former golf course. Campaign group Save Wimbledon Park argued a statutory trust existed, meaning the land had to be kept as a public space.
