BATH RUGBY | THE REC

18,000 Capacity stadium for bath rugby

The spiritual home of Bath Rugby for over 125 years, the redevelopment of the historic Recreation Ground has taken a big leap forward with the submission of a planning application, with key-features of the stadium and riverside at the forefront.

Working closely with Kay Elliott Architects, J4Projects and Bath CEO Tarquin McDonald, incredibly attention to detail was paid to ensure these planning visuals accurately and evocatively portray the plans for the development.

The plans also include the regeneration of the riverside in the heart of the city, the creation of significant sporting and community benefits for all, whilst ensuring that the Club continues to provide a considerable contribution to the city’s economy for decades to come.

18,000 capacity stadium with significantly enhanced accessibility provisions

Retention of mature trees, as well as further landscaping and bio-diversity measures

A host of sustainability measures to support a target of net zero operational carbon

We are absolutely delighted to have submitted our proposals. This is the culmination of many years of collaboration, listening and refining, which we now believe delivers the world-class facility that Bath Rugby and the wider city deserves.
