Nottingham Forest Unveils £800m City Ground Overhaul to Lift Capacity to 52,000

The club plans to file for approval on 15 December after public consultations.

Overview

  • Phase one targets a rebuild of the Peter Taylor Stand and new seating in the Trent End corners to raise capacity to about 45,000.
  • A subsequent redevelopment of the Brian Clough Stand is intended to add roughly 7,500 seats, aiming for an overall capacity near 52,000 by around 2033.
  • Forest will submit plans to Rushcliffe Borough Council on 15 December following two drop‑in sessions for fans, residents and stakeholders.
  • The club outlines approximately £800 million of works, including about £500 million for the first phase and £300 million for the Brian Clough Stand, with specialists such as KSS and project manager Gleeds involved.
  • Nottingham City Council says talks on selling the stadium’s freehold to the club are progressing positively, though both the land transfer and planning consent remain prerequisites to starting work.
