A decision by City Hall over Wimbledon’s ambitious expansion plans may not be reached until after this year’s Championships. Deputy Mayor of Planning, Jules Pipe, on Monday made the decision to call in the application, with a hearing set to make a ruling on the £200million facelift.
However, because of the complexity of the plans, legal arguments and the opposing decisions by both Merton and Wandsworth councils, it will take time to put everything in place to set a date for the hearing.
