Andy Murray has sparked a row on Twitter after backing his mum Judy's controversial plans for a tennis and golf centre in Dunblane.
Judy Murray plans to build a multi-million tennis and golf centre at Park of Keir have faced fierce opposition from local residents.
A decision on the proposals, which are also backed by Colin Montgomerie, will be made at a planning meeting today, however, officials at Stirling Council have recommended that the planning application be refused.
Wimbledon champion Murray tweeted his support for the project yesterday.
Hoping the Park of Keir development gets the green light. Massive opportunity for the community, for sport and for the next generationđđ

His comment sparked a row on Twitter, with Anne Verden-Anderson claiming the development is 'just a in way for housing developers'.
@andy_murray just a way in for housing developers. All about money and not about what community values here.

However, Judy Murray hit back at the claim.
@anna_v_anderson if u read the plan, you will c this is not the case. 19 houses needed to fund sports facilities, cycle path + country park.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.Â
That is invaluable.Â
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalistâs job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
