Nottingham Forest has been given the go-ahead for a major revamp of the City Ground.
The club – recently promoted to the Premier League – has been told it can go ahead with the redevelopment after several years of trying to get permission. The green light was given at a meeting of Rushcliffe Borough Council’s planning committee on Thursday. It means the club can start work on knocking down and rebuilding the Peter Taylor stand.
Following the meeting a club spokesman said: “Nottingham Forest Football Club is delighted at today’s decision of the Rushcliffe Borough Council planning committee to uphold the recommendation of its planning officers that the club’s application for planning permission to redevelop the Main Stand on the City Ground site should be approved.
