Decision over 30,000-seat stadium now rests with the secretary of state

Bristol City FC’s new £60m stadium has received a “minded to approve” verdict from the local council’s planning committee and has now been referred to the secretary of state who will decide whether to call in the application or not.

With Bristol being named as one of 12 potential host cities as part of England’s 2018 bid, the new stadium will have a 30,000 capacity which could be expanded to 42,000 if England hosts the World Cup in 2018.

Capita Symonds is providing project and cost management.
