There are two quick and easy ways that you can tell the GLA (Greater London Authority) that you object to the AELTC planning application.

See the Save Wimbledon Park website for instructions.

You may wish to both:

1) Submit a comment on the GLA website, which will be recorded as an official objection;

2) Send a separate email to Jules Pipe "jules.pipe@london.gov.uk" (Deputy Mayor of London for Planning, Regeneration and Skills ) cc Leonie Cooper "leonie.cooper@london.gov.uk" (Assembly Member for Merton and Wandsworth and Chair of the London Assembly's Economy Committee, and Deputy Chair of the Environment Committee). This will let them know how strongly you feel.

Background
On 21st November, Wandsworth Council rejected the planning application submitted by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). Merton Council had previously approved the application on 26th October.

Merton and Wandsworth Councils both now have to write separately to the GLA (Greater London Authority) so that the GLA can then review AELTC’s plans. Wandsworth tell us they will be doing this in December or January - it takes a while as they have to include all papers and submissions.

Once both notifications have been submitted, the GLA has 14 days to decide what to do next. 

We believe that the GLA has two options:

1. reject the application 

2. declare itself the planning authority and consider the application 

The Mayor has recused himself, so his Deputy Jules Pipe or another deputy will take the decision.
