Plans to almost triple the size of the Wimbledon site are set to proceed after a campaign group’s legal challenge against the decision to approve the proposals was dismissed by a High Court judge.

Save Wimbledon Park (SWP) took legal action against the Greater London Authority’s (GLA) decision to grant planning permission last year.
