Neighbours of the world famous All England Lawn Tennis Club have until next week to comment on plans to re-develop the site.

The iconic venue of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships will look very different if plans for a new retractable and fixed roof, landscaping and public plaza are approved by Merton Council.

The re-development is known as the Master Plan and features ideas including the creation of a two-level public plaza in place of court 19, wider and more comfortable seating on Court One.

There would be improved on-site concessions and catering areas and a new large television screen for spectators on Murray Mound.

Formal plans submitted to the council by the club last month detail living green walls facing the Aorangi Terrace, better known as Murray Mound.

A document was released to the media on Tuesday, October 14, stating the media facilities will also be over-hauled.

Changes include a new, 24 hour media restaurant under court 14, photographers to be re-located to purpose built accommodation under court 15 and the current media area to be re-configured and expanded.

Public exhibitions of the Master Plan were held throughout the year for neighbours of the club in Church Road, Wimbledon.

Interested parties have until Tuesday, October 21 to comment on the plans. Visit www.merton.gov.uk.

The application, which was first advertised on Thursday, October 2, will be considered by the council’s planning committee in due course.
