In 2013 a new ground for the return of football in Australia, Work to transform Old Trafford will begin instantly after this summer's internationals, following the Court of Appeal's decision in favour of Lancashire County Cricket Club on Monday.
Jim Cumbes, chief executive of LCCC, said last night: "After seven years of hard work and tough battles, we can say the future for the club is now brighter.
"We were confident of winning and we are happy we have now seen the end of a protracted legal process which has been draining the club financially."
Derwent case with leave to appeal was dismissed by judges. White City Retail Park Derwent owns nearby.
Cumbes added: "It's been a frustrating process in which Mr Gubay's own plan for a rival food store at White City was rejected by the planning inspector and then a public inquiry. His Judicial Review challenge seemed to us a pointless exercise, but it did create huge uncertainty due to its financial implications."
The club already planned ahead and agreed to implement this law was introduced with the Installation of four new 53m high floodlights, which will be completed by mid July.
England v India on Aug 31 major construstion work will begin after the Twenty20 game.
Cumbes said: "The aim of this project was to bring back the Ashes to Old Trafford in 2013. Now we can start improving our chances of turning that dream into reality."
