Nottingham Forest has lodged new proposals with Rushcliffe Borough Council for a major redevelopment of the City Ground, which would increase its capacity to around 45,000.
The club’s earlier plan to rebuild the Peter Taylor Stand was approved earlier this year, raising capacity from 30,000 to 35,000. The revised submission outlines a larger expansion, including infilling the corners of the Trent End Stand and upgrading the surrounding infrastructure.
Under the proposal, the Peter Taylor Stand would deliver about 10,000 additional seats, with nearly half allocated to corporate hospitality. The Trent End extensions would accommodate a further 5,000 supporters. The scheme also features new pedestrian access routes, car parking areas, and landscaping improvements.
Plans to include 170 residential units near the stadium have been removed. The redevelopment will involve demolishing several existing structures, including the Sims and Britannia boathouses, residential buildings, and previously approved facilities such as the Peter Taylor Stand, Champion Centre, and club shop.
Savills is overseeing the planning process for Forest, which has not yet confirmed a final capacity figure pending completion of the final designs.
