00:00A High Court judge is considering a challenge to plans for a new Tottenham Hotspur training
00:05academy in North London. Campaign group Guardians of Whitewebs claims there was a real possibility
00:11of bias in Enfield Council's decision to approve the scheme for Whitewebs Park and argues the
00:17impact on protected Greenbelt land was not properly assessed. The council has withdrawn
00:22its defence after a change in political control. Its new leader said that the club was no longer
00:28welcome to build on the park. But Tottenham Hotspur is continuing to fight the case,
00:34rejecting the allegations and insisting the planning process was thorough and fair.
00:38A judge is expected to issue a written ruling later.
