Spurs’ plans for new training facility in London park blocked by high court

Judge quashes Enfield council's decision to grant planning permission for new women's and girls' football academy

A council's decision to allow Tottenham Hotspur Football Club to build a new training facility in a park in north London has been quashed by a judge at the high court.

The campaign group Guardians of Whitewebbs told a hearing in June that Enfield council's decision to grant planning permission for a new women's and girls' football academy on 6.5 hectares (16 acres) of land in Whitewebbs Park was unlawful.
