'Significant step forward' in Bath Rugby stadium plans
It follows a decision by the Court of Appeal
Bath Rugby says plans for a new stadium at the Rec have taken a significant step forward after a decision at the Court of Appeal.
It says the court's rejected a previous ruling that covenants signed in 1922 prevented development at the site.
The club says it can now bring forward comprehensive plans for a new stadium at the Rec, with work on design proposals starting again in the New Year.
Chief Executive, Tarquin McDonald said; “We are delighted with the ruling and can now focus on bringing forward revised proposals for a new stadium.
"This is important for the club and the city. Redevelopment will create new jobs, boost visitor spends, enhance the river frontage and help to provide education and support opportunities for young people who need it most.”
