Bath Rec redevelopment

Proposals to develop the home of Bath Rugby go on show on Friday lunchtime.

The club wants to demolish and rebuild the west stand and clubhouse to bring the facilities at the Rec up to premiership and international standard.

It is holding consultation events at the Rec on Friday and Saturday before coming up with a planning application later this year.

Bath Rugby is to hold two consultation events before submitting a planning application for any development at The Rec.

The consultation events will be on Friday 27th September from 12noon to 7pm and Saturday 28th September from 12noon to 6pm in a marquee at The Rec.

The club want to increase capacity and improve facilities at the ground.

The East Stand will continue to be a temporary stand that is removed each summer to allow the Rec to be used for other sport, leisure and cultural events.

The West Stand, North Terrace and Clubhouse will be demolished and redeveloped to vastly improve the three permanent stands.

The consultation events will be on Friday 27th September from 12noon to 7pm and Saturday 28th September from 12noon to 6pm in a marquee at The Rec.

Councillor David Dixon, Chairman of the Recreation Ground Trust says today is a significant milestone for Bath Rugby.

Nick Blofield , Chief Executive Bath Rugby says there's still some hurdles to overcome in Bath's Rec redevelopment planc.

Bath Rugby Club has received a boost to its plans to redevelop its stadium. The Charities Commission has told the Recreation Ground Trust that they can decide for themselves whether to extend the club's lease.

Bath hope to redevelop the stadium to Premiership Rugby standards.

The body that oversees Bath's Recreation Ground has cleared the way for the city's rugby club to carry out a long-awaited redevelopment.

The Charity Commission says a group of trustees can grant the club the lease it needs to stay at the Rec and upgrade to meet premier league standards.

However other legal issues still have to be resolved before a planning application can be made.
