Fulham Football Club has been granted a river works licence to enable it to progress on development of its Riverside Stand.
Fulham received planning consent for the development in July 2013, subject to the licence being obtained. The club is now in a position to commence with a projected timetable for the development.
One of the key considerations of the Port of London Authority in granting the licence is the club’s commitment to the opening up of the river walkway to enable it to be enjoyed by the local community and the general public for the first time in recent history. The new walkway will include a number of facilities such as a café, public toilets and a restaurant which will be open to the public every day.
The expansion will see stadium capacity expanded to 30,000 seats from 25,000 with the new stand designed to mirror the bend in the river. The new stand will also provide facilities for community and other uses on non-match days.
Architects KSS Group has been chosen for the redevelopment, with the rebuild cost being kept confidential.
