Permission Granted for Nottingham Forest City Ground Stadium Expansion

Planning has been granted for a new stadium-wide regeneration project at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground. In addition, outline consent has also been granted for a residential block adjacent which adds both to the viability and place-making of the scheme.

Benoy is the lead architect on the scheme.

Included in the scheme will be a new Peter Taylor stand, complete with world-class player facilities and a new approach to guest hospitality including multiple suites and dining venues. The new Peter Taylor Stand will create a stunning centrepiece for this iconic riverside stadium.

Researching best-in-class stadium design, Benoy’s design for the new stand creates 10,000 seats in 3 tiers under a dramatic cantilevered roof. The building accommodates state-of-the-art player facilities and various size hospitality suites to appeal to different fan groups and non-match day audiences. In addition, the scheme includes a new riverside residential development providing stunning views towards Trent Bridge. Commenting, Mike Wilson-MacCormack, Director of Benoy’s Newark studio and lead architect on the project said: “We’re delighted to see this project secure the green light to go ahead. The stadium is an iconic part of the fabric of Nottingham and this scheme will help to secure its future as a world-class sporting venue.”
