West Ham have submitted planning permission to Havering London Borough council to remodel and rebuild their Training Ground & Sports Stadium at Rush Green Road, Romford.
The text submitted with the planning diagrams below says: “The main aim of the alterations and extensions to the existing buildings on the site is to provide the required facilities internally that are necessary for a Premier League football team, to improve the external appearance of the building and to use the West Ham United Club colours to give it identity.”
“The extension to the building would be to the north elevations to ensure that no designated pitches are lost and would include a treatment area, hydrotherapy pool and plant room. In addition, a new stand alone structure to the north of the building would be built to provide a boardroom and office to allow meetings to be held on site.”
“Externally, it is proposed to clad the building using a mixture of timber boarding and the Club’s colours. The extension and new office building would also be a mixture of timber cladding and Club colours. The training ground would include six high quality pitches, including the pitch within the stadium area, that are the same standard and size of the pitch used by the first team. This is to improve the quality of training provided to the players and ensure that all their training mirrors the conditions they will encounter in a first-team game.”
