Nottingham Forest are set to begin a huge redevelopment of the City Ground praised by locals as 'tremendous'. The Reds first announced the multi-million pound revamp in 2019, but their ambition to transform the stadium into a world-class venue has been hit by delays during the planning process.
But Rushcliffe Borough Council has now revealed the plans have been recommended for approval and will be considered by its planning committee on Thursday, July 28. Forest want to give their home a significant facelift and transform the stadium into a world-class venue, increasing capacity to 38,000 at an estimated cost of more than £94m.
Phase one centres on rebuilding the Peter Taylor Stand, with the initial plans outlining new state-of-the-art dressing rooms, a museum, club shop, executive boxes and media suites. The club also wishes for a 13-storey building with 169 residential apartments to be built where the club shop and champions centre currently stand.
