Herzog & de Meuron plans for new Chelsea stadium get go ahead
Plans for a new stadium for London’s Chelsea FC have been approved by Hammersmith & Fulham Council. The new brick-clad facility designed by
Herzog & de Meuron will replace the club’s existing ground at Stamford Bridge, which will be demolished. The new stadium is expected to cost
£500m and will have a capacity of 60,000 seats compared to the current 41,631-seater in Fulham Road. The redevelopment will include decking platforms built over the District Line to the north west and over the Southern rail line to the east. A new pedestrian access from Fulham Road will also be created. Hammersmith & Fulham Council leader
Stephen Cowan, commented: “Chelsea’s new stadium will deliver some real benefits to the borough. But we have also made it clear to the club that we fully expect them to work with local residents to minimise the disruption of the works.” Chelsea FC said in a statement: “We are
grateful that planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of our his- toric home. The committee decision does not mean that work can begin on site. This is just the latest step, although a significant one, that we have to take before we can commence work, including obtaining various other permissions.” H&F council has secured £22m in bene-
fits to the local community through the project, including £3.75m to build afford- able homes for local residents in addition to already promised recreation facilities improvements in the borough.

project as “very important”, adding: “Pierre and I have always admired tradi-
tional English stadiums because of their specific atmosphere and history. Stamford Bridge has a rich history and is located at the core of a vibrant neighbourhood. Unlike an isolated stadium, it is part of the day to day life of the local community.”
