QPR get green light for new Warren Farm training ground

QPR have been given the go-ahead to start building work on a training ground in Ealing.

The Supreme Court has rejected attempts to overturn planning permission for the site on the Warren Farm sports ground development.

Rangers had initially hoped to move into their new training ground for the 2013-14 season but a long-running legal dispute has delayed the project.

QPR chief executive officer Lee Hoos said “We’re delighted that all legal avenues to frustrate this process have now been exhausted.

“A new training ground, which brings together the first team and the academy, is an important part of a strategic long-term plan for the club.

“The delays have been very frustrating. Not only have they delayed us securing a new training ground for the club but they have delayed the huge community benefit to residents from improved sports facilities and the programmes that QPR in the Community Trust will run at Warren Farm.

“We look forward to engaging with Ealing residents, sports clubs and the council about those facilities and programmes as construction gets underway.”
