Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Planning Committee will meet on Thursday July 28 to consider Nottingham Forest’s major plans for amendments to the City Ground and a residential development.
The Council’s planning application report recommends approval of the plans which consist of a full planning application for the redevelopment of the Peter Taylor stand, including the demolition of existing buildings/structures, new public realm and car parking, and an outline planning application for up to 170 residential units.
The stand redevelopment will see it replaced with a new three tier scheme, increasing capacity and enhancing facilities. The new stand’s primary uses would include seating for spectators, players and match official facilities, media facilities, premium hospitality, conference facilities and staff accommodation.
The residential scheme, meanwhile, would be housed in a 13 floor development with vehicle and cycle parking, commercial floor space, back of house and plant spaces, access and support facilities at the ground floor, additional vehicle parking and resident amenity space at first floor level followed by 11 levels of mixed sized residential units and roof top plant/terrace areas.
