PARIS (AP) A French tribunal lifted the suspension of plans to expand Roland Garros, a decision the French Tennis Federation welcomed with "great satisfaction" on Thursday.
In March, the planned renovation of Roland Garros was put on hold after the tribunal sided with local residents who complained the development could harm the environment.
The Administrative Court of Paris' appeals court overturned the ruling on Thursday.
The home of the French Open is undergoing an expansion that was scheduled to be completed in 2017, with plans including a retractable roof over the center court.
The project was approved by city authorities two years ago, giving the FFT permission to undertake building work, but it was suspended after the tribunal sided with local residents concerned that building work would encroach on a nearby botanical greenhouse.
