The development will also include:

  • The North Stand Terrace
    The existing uncovered terracing will be demolished and replaced with an uncovered terrace for approx. 700 spectators. This will be located further north by approx. 9m to allow for the expansion of the playing area and future development.

  • The East Stand
    The existing east stand (the popular side) will be demolished and replaced with a new covered spectator standing terrace to accommodate approx. 1000 spectators. This will be positioned further to the east than the existing stand by 7m to allow for the expansion of the playing surface and expansion of the main stand.

  • The South Stand
    The existing south stand (the Town End) will be demolished and replace with a new covered spectator standing terrace to accommodate approx. 1000 spectators.

  • The Pitch and Surrounding Areas
    The existing turf pitch will be replaced with a 3G pitch suitable for both Football and Rugby use. Impacted areas to all stands around the pitch will be made good and provided with suitable new run off areas, pitch perimeter fencing and compliant access to meet all building and stadia guidance. New turnstiles and boundary fencing will be provided as required.

  • Capacity
    On completion the initial development will have a total capacity of 3,700; 2700 standing and 1000 seated spectators. New Floodlighting around the pitch will be configured as required in accordance with ground grading requirements. External access and parking around the main building has been adjusted to suit to proposed layout with the existing highways layout largely being retained.
