Marylebone Cricket Club<\/a> (MCC) has received the green light by Westminster City Council to construct two new three-tier stands to replace the existing Compton and Edrich stands<\/h2>\n

The redevelopment of the Compton and Edrich stands at Lord\u2019s Cricket Ground forms the second phase of the ground\u2019s updated Masterplan.<\/p>\n

The designs by WilkinsonEyre<\/a> will remain consistent with the overall architectural identity of Lord\u2019s and the \u2018village cricket green\u2019 ethos, whilst working to improve the overall harmony of the north-east end of the ground.<\/p>\n

The plans include much needed upgraded amenities. There are currently no facilities within the existing stands, with poor sightlines in the lower tiers. The new designs include integrated catering and WC facilities, and vastly improved sightlines for the seats in the lower levels.<\/p>\n

The seating capacity of the new stands will be increased by around 2,500, accommodating 11,500 spectators overall, and there will also be wheelchair-accessible spaces<\/a> as well as lift access at all levels.<\/p>\n

Construction is due to commence after the completion of this summer\u2019s major matches on 24 August 2019. The rapid-build design sequence has been developed to minimise interruption to match fixtures, with the new stands\u2019 seats due to be ready for use during the 2020 season. Fully fitted-out facilities are scheduled to be completed for the summer of 2021. The stands are anticipated to cost in the region of \u00a350m.<\/p>\n

MCC Members will be asked to approve the plans at the Club\u2019s AGM in May 2019.<\/p>\n

MCC Chief Executive & Secretary Guy Lavender said: \u201cMCC is delighted to receive planning permission<\/a> for the redevelopment of the Compton and Edrich Stands. We are excited to be commencing another transformational development at Lord\u2019s, and by raising the capacity to 31,000 we will be able to welcome more spectators to enjoy matches at the largest cricket ground in the country, here at the Home of Cricket.<\/p>\n

“The redevelopment will be an outstanding addition delivering world-class facilities, ensuring that Lord\u2019s remains the finest ground in the world to watch, and play cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n
