Nottingham Forest’s City Ground will undergo a significant transformation, with plans to redevelop the iconic stadium officially approved. Following unanimous backing from the Rushcliffe Borough Council, the project will see the demolition and replacement of the Peter Taylor Stand, with the new structure boosting the stadium’s capacity to around 35,000 seats.
The new stand, rising 38 metres, will be the tallest in the stadium and will feature advanced infrastructure, including improved facilities for staff, players, and fans, as well as premium hospitality suites. The £130m redevelopment will modernise the venue to meet top-tier football standards, aligning with the club’s ambitions for future success.
The planning approval also includes provisions for a residential development next to the stadium, featuring 170 one- and two-bedroom apartments and commercial spaces, with parking for 67 vehicles. With this redevelopment, Nottingham Forest aims to enhance both the fan experience and the economic impact on the local area.
