Michael Meadowcroft, chairman of the TV Harrison Sports Ground Association said: “Once again the Leeds City Council’s planning decision to build on the T V Harrison Sports Ground has been overturned in the. It means that the campaign to safeguard this sports ground has taken a further huge step forward.
“We are just a local voluntary organisation which has only resorted to legal action as a last resort. Every time we apply for Judicial Review of a Council decision we risk huge amounts of money in costs if we were to lose. When asked whether plans for the site would be reconsidered, a spokesperson for Leeds City Council said: “The council is currently further considering its position in light of the judgement of the High Court handed down today.”
