Wimbledon cannot expand onto parkland, court hears

Campaign group Save Wimbledon Park contended that the land is legally protected from construction, given it is a Grade II*-listed heritage site. The All England Club aims to develop the site into a significant tennis venue with additional courts and infrastructure. Save Wimbledon Park claims existing restrictions on land use should prevent such expansion, asking the judge to annul the previous approval and reconsider the decision.
The campaigned to prevent construction on Wimbledon Park emphasizes that the area is protected as a Grade II*-listed heritage site designed by Capability Brown.
