Stadium for Bath is about delivering a new home for Bath Rugby, regenerating the riverside in the heart of Bath, and the creation of wider sporting and community benefits - building a special place that everyone can enjoy, a beacon in the heart of the city.
The following pages will give you great insight into the robust journey that the project team have been on over the years, and share with you the resulting proposed design.
A design we believe has heard from Bath residents, local neighbours, agencies and supporters; and speaks to the changing needs of the club, our city and our community.
We have created an iconic, yet sensitive design that will deliver an incredible matchday experience.
But more than that, our proposed design will be a year round civic venue, in service to the city, alongside a redeveloped, more open and well maintained riverside for all to enjoy.
We have included a lot of detail, you may want to dive deeply into it, or you may just want the headlines - whatever you need from our public consultation we hope you find what you are looking for.
The final version of the Development Brief has now been formally submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council.
This Development Brief was initially issued for public consultation for a 3 week period between 11th April 2018 and 2nd May 2018.
A ‘Final Draft for Consultation’ was subsequently consulted upon in June 2023. Comments received have been considered and the document amended as appropriate.
The Council have confirmed that the process and public consultation is “considered to fulfil the public engagement aspects of requirements set out in Policy SB2.”
Thank you for your feedback on our plans to redevelop The Rec.
We are now collating feedback given in public consultations and via this page. They will all become a part of our planning application.
The next opportunity to comment on our plans will be after our submission to B&NES via the council website and we will post a link here when one becomes available.
