We have today been informed that the formal planning application has been submitted to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. This step though is only the first stage of the planning process which will last at least beyond the end of the season and if a planning permission is granted, there will still be a lot of work for the Club to do and various permissions to obtain before work can start, including obtaining any necessary landlord consents. We will continue to inform you of the application’s progress through the planning process.

You can access the application and plans at www.lbhf.gov.uk/stamfordbridgegrounds.
