UK: Girls School Launches Appeal To Prevent Redevelopment Of Boys School

Story here. Excerpt:

'Last summer, Langley Park School for Girls and the neighbouring Langley Park School for Boys became locked in a dispute over a large-scale development at the boy’s school.

Bromley Council originally agreed to a complete overhaul of the boys’ school’s facilities in June, but the neighbouring girls’ school tried to overturn that decision at the High Court.

And, even though a High Court judge ruled against the challenge last month, the council says the girls’ school is now considering launching an appeal.
...
Cllr Noad said: “The actions of the girls’ school are not based on planning grounds as was proven in the High Court, rather they are designed to wreck the scheme and they hope that funding will be withdrawn. They seem to be against the rebuild in principle.
...
Mr Grimble added: “We do not accept that the girls’ school, or any other party, has, or attempts to exercise, any right of way across any part of our land and, consequently, we view this as another attempt by the girls’ school to derail the much needed redevelopment of our school.'
