The club's planners have described the temporary changes as 'very modest'
Nottingham Forest's owner has made a personal request for a change to be made to the City Ground before itsmajor redevelopment. Billionaire Evangelos Marinakis , who bought the Reds in 2017, has asked for permission to make a change to the club's ground ahead of a multi-million project to significantly increase its capacity.
Architects IBA Planning said: "Planning permission will afford the owner the private access to the owner’s lounge he has requested until the redevelopment of the Peter Taylor Main Stand is underway." They added the new external lift shaft was "very modest" and would connect to the owner’s lounge at first-floor level only so that fans can continue to access the stadium concourse beneath it.
The structure will be clad in red to fit in with the club's colours, helping it fit in with the rest of the stadium. Further arguing the club's case, architects added: "Owing to the modest footprint and design, the proposed development is considered to be in keeping with the immediate built environment – and will not be prominent or visible from wider public vantage points beyond the boundaries of the site.
