Notts County’s plans for a new Fan Zone called ‘The Nest’ have been granted conditional permission.
The proposals relate a commercial unit on Iremonger Road in Nottingham, near the Meadow Lane ground, which will be used as a facility to meet before and after matches, selling food and drink from a bar and street food traders, and including a giant television screen showing football matches.
It will also be utilised as a multi-purpose events space for leisure, entertainment and community use.
Notts County said the site will “improve the overall community experience” on match days and several non-match days throughout the year.
The previous tenant was East Midlands Fabrications Ltd, who produced general steel fabrications and architectural metalwork.
The site offers 12,000 sq ft of indoor space complemented by a large outdoor area.
Notts County want to develop a space like that seen at Box Park in Wembley, the Rapidz Fan Zone at Burnley FC, and City Square at Manchester City FC.
