Wimbledon expansion planning permission cleared by UK court after challenge

REUTERS/Sam Tobin LONDON (Reuters) -Wimbledon's plans to expand the grounds for the world's oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam in tennis overcame its first legal hurdle on Monday, as London's High Court rejected a challenge to the project by campaigners. Campaign group Save Wimbledon Park took legal action over planning permission granted to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), which wants to treble the size of its main site in a 200 million-pound ($269.6-million) project. The expansion would feature 39 new courts, including an 8,000-seat show court, could increase daily capacity from 42,000 to 50,000 people, and allow qualifying rounds to be held on site, which has been home to the Championships since 1877. The AELTC's plans to redevelop a former golf course which it owns are supported by several leading players, including Novak Djokovic, and some local residents. Planning permission was approved by the Greater London Authority last year, but Save Wimbledon Park argued at a hearing this month that the GLA failed to properly take account of restrictions on redeveloping the land, agreed when the AELTC's parent company bought the golf course freehold in 1993. Judge Pushpinder Saini rejected Save Wimbledon Park's challenge to the lawfulness of planning permission, but Wimbledon's plans still face another legal hurdle about the status of the land, which will be heard early next year.

Celtic vs Newcastle United LIVE score and goal updates from Parkhead friendly

Celtic will start their Scottish Premiership title defence and quest for five-in-a-row in just a couple of weeks. And Brendan Rodgers and his Bhoys are stepping up their preparations ahead of the big kick off with a Battle of Britain friendly. Eddie Howe was once targeted by the Hoops for the manager's job but swerved it, paving the way for Ange Postecoglou. It hasn't worked out too badly for the ex Bournemouth man whop led Newcastle United to their first trophy in 70 years last season. The Magpies lifted the Carabao Cup and with Celtic lifting Scotland's equivalent as part of a domestic double, the pair clash in Glasgow. And there will even be silverware for the winners who will get their hands on the inaugural adidas Trophy, a new one-off contest between two of the brand's flagship clubs. 11:01Gavin Berry Get Shin there Celtic kicked off today with the announcement of another signing as Shin Yamada was confirmed. And he is happy to be the latest Japanese star to be snapped up by the Hoops but insists he arrives at Parkhead as his own man. The 25-year-old has completed his £1.2million switch from J1 League side Kawasaki Frontale and has penned a four-year contract in Glasgow's East End. Yamada will team up with compatriots Reo Hatate, Daizen Maeda and fellow summer signing Hayato Inamura. And while he is also aware of the exploits of former Parkhead hero Kyogo Furuhashi, the 25-year-old is determined to create his own history in the green-and-white. Speaking to the club's webiste, he said: 'It is a huge honour for me to be here as a Celtic player and I can't wait to begin my time at this amazing club. 'Celtic is one of the top names in world football. I have already watched my countrymen like Daizen, Reo and Kyogo do so well at Celtic and I will aim to have the same impact. 'I am my own player, though, and I am ready to face all my own challenges directly. 'I want to do so well at Celtic, I know that Celtic Park is one of the best places in the world to play football with the best supporters around and I will do everything I can to make my new fans proud of me. 'I promise I will give everything I have to bring our fans success.' 10:54Gavin Berry Flashback Where does the time go? It's 30 years since Newcastle United played Celtic in a friendly to officially open the £17million North Stand at Parkhead. The Hoops were starting to get going under the late Tommy Burns and the teams drew 1-1 with John Collins and Les Ferdinand the scorers. David Ginola starred for Kevin Keegan's men after the Frenchman had rejected the chance to join Celtic from Paris Saint-Germain. 10:46Gavin Berry Geordies are talk of the Toon Ticket sales for this one were initially sluggish among the home fans but they have really picked up in the build up to the game and it could be a sell-out. The away fans had no such trouble in terms of appeal with the Geordies snapping up around 10,000 tickets. That should help make an incredible atmosphere with many of the Toon Army making a weekend of it in Glasgow. It wasn't so long ago they were on the other side of the city for a midweek friendly against Rangers when they brought a similarly sizeable support north of the border. 10:42Gavin Berry Howe-away the lads There's a parallel reality where Eddie Howe landed the Celtic job back in 2021 but it's fair to say it's worked out well for both parties since. The Hoops, after all, have continued to dominate under Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers, while Howe has led the Magpies back to the European stage and delivered their first major trophy in 70 years. Howe had doubts over the make-up his coaching staff which sparked him to exit protracted talks to become Neil Lennon 's permanent successor in June 2021. The Englishman saying no opened the door to Postecoglou who rebuilt the Parkhead side. However, Howe's main sticking point didn't faze Postecoglou who left Yokohama Marinos and didn't bring his own staff with him. The Australian's success came alongside John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan despite the duo suffering flak for their role in Celtic's botched attempt to secure 10 In A Row. In a previous interview, Howe admitted the chance to rebuild the Hoops appealed but he declined to join the club after being unable to add trusted lieutenants Jason Tindall, Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone. Celtic was the one job I'd been offered that really appealed. The issue there was my staff. I felt that if I was to come into a pressured job like that, I needed to go in with a sense of stability. I could have recruited new staff, but then you're working each other out and there's a transition process where it probably takes three, four, five months. That's five months too late. I needed my staff with me and we couldn't get them together.
