Cricket club issue update over major Trent Bridge redevelopment plan

Officials at Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club say they're working to finalise dates for work to start on the refurbishment of the Members' Pavilion at Trent Bridge that has 'long failed' to meet ECB standards. The plans, approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council on June 28, set out the partial demolition and extension of pavilion.

In an update, the club said they were drawing up timescales for the project. Despite the ground's international recognition, the current pavilion has "long failed" to meet the standards required by The England and Wales Cricket Board , the sport's governing body. This includes the ground's level of accessible wheelchair access, which was found to be significantly short of expectations.

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club said the ECB were now "highly satisfied" with and supportive of the proposals, now approved. A report compiled by a Rushcliffe Borough Council planning officer read: "The proposed development would require the substantial alteration and partial demolition of a non-designated heritage asset, however, the harm arising would be outweighed by the social and economic benefits of the scheme.
