New details emerge around £100m City Ground redevelopment
Fresh details about Nottingham Forest’s plans to redevelop its City Ground home have emerged.
A letter seen by TheBusinessDesk.com from property consultancy Savills to Rushcliffe Borough Council outlines £100m plans to extend the City Ground to a 36,000-capacity stadium – 2,000 less than previously announced.
The letter is part of a screening request application made by Savills on behalf of the Club.
The Peter Taylor stand will be able to accommodate up to 6,000 extra supporters, while outside the ground two residential developments will be built which will include 250 apartments. These will extend up to 46m in height.
Plans to redevelop the City Ground first emerged in February.
The new Peter Taylor Stand will include a museum, a new club shop, range of hospitality lounge options and restaurants and executive boxes. There will also be concourses for general-admission supporters as well as improved facilities for supporters with disabilities and a substantial increase in wheelchair spaces.
The plans picked up pace in June, when Nottingham City Council agreed to grant the club a new 250-year lease to enable to the club to redevelop the City Ground.
The City Ground last underwent major development work in 1994 when the Trent End stand was turned from the terrace into a modern, all-seater stand.
