JUDY Murray has said she will walk away from her proposed multi-million pound tennis and golf centre near Dunblane if revised plans are not given the green light.

The tennis coach said she was hopeful that a revised proposal recently submitted to Stirling Council would be granted planning permission.

But she added that if the plan was rejected she “couldn’t go through it all again”.

The mother of tennis star Andy Murray joined forces with golfer Colin Montgomerie in a bid to build the Park of Keir facility, which would host indoor and outdoor tennis and golf centres alongside luxury homes, a hotel and leisure facility and be set in substantial parkland.

However, the development has been controversial with some local residents who are unhappy that greenbelt land is being used.

A revised plan presented to Dunblane Community Council earlier this month outlined that 85 per cent of the land around the facility would now be given to the community as part of a Community Interest Company (CIC). The new proposal also reduced the number of new homes on the site.

Speaking as her sons prepare to lead Great Britain’s challenge at the Davis Cup in Glasgow this weekend, Ms Murray said: “I’m very hopeful that we’ll get it [planning permission] this time. We’ve taken into account everything that everybody has asked of us, reduced the number of houses, put the land into a CIC. We couldn’t do any more.

“It’s taken two and a half years to get to this stage. If we were not to get it, I couldn’t go through all that again.

“It’s time consuming, it’s emotionally draining and it’s very costly with all the consultations you have to do. I don’t think I’ve got another two and a half years in me to go through all that again. And then you’ve got two years in the build, so I wouldn’t do it again.”

Ms Murray said it was vital to build a long-term, sustainable legacy for Andy’s sporting success in Scotland while he is still playing and such enthusiasm exists for the game.

She added: “This development is all about community and accessibility and growing the game. It’s nothing to do with private academies or performance or money-making.

“Anybody who knows me knows that I’m doing everything with the best of intentions.”

Opponents to the proposed Park of Keir development, RAGE (Residents Against Greenbelt Erosion), have previously said they were not convinced the land would be protected.

Spokeswoman Ann Shaw said that she would be pleased if the plans were abandoned, saying that while a sports facility was needed the proposed location was the wrong one.

She said: "The plan to give the community 85 per cent of the development is a red herring as the company would still be run by the developer, who would still own the land.

"What we have said from the get-go is that this is not the right site for such a development. It is in the middle of the green belt and cannot be accessed by public transport.

"Judy Murray's mission to get more young people involved in sport is commendable, and there is a need for that. But we would be pleased if she walked away because this is not the right place."
