Following new advice received from Bath and North East Somerset Council planning officers, Bath Rugby has withdrawn its application requesting an amendment to temporary planning conditions attached to the East Stand at the Rec.
It is therefore confirmed that the East Stand will be removed at the end of this season and be reconstructed in time for the start of the 2019/20 campaign.
This decision does not affect the Club’s plans to deliver a new permanent stadium at the Rec and the hard work continues to finalise designs ahead of a planning application this summer.
