The further High Court proceedings between the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and the Save Wimbledon Project (SWP) start in the High Court today.

The AELTC obtained planning permission in 2024 to build a new stadium and 38 more tennis courts on the old Wimbledon golf course area. The point at issue is whether the land in question is subject to a ‘statutory trust’ for public recreation.

The AELTC’s court application is opposed by SWP who believe the golf course land is
protected as an open space for the benefit of the public.
