The All England Lawn Tennis Club has taken a major step towards building a new 8,000-seater show court and 38 further courts on Wimbledon Park after the controversial plans were approved by Merton Council following a mammoth five-hour meeting.
The development will take place on the land of Wimbledon Park Golf Club, located opposite the tennis club on the other side of Church Road, with plans for a range of amenities for fans, players and staff as well as the new courts.
