Nottingham Forest expect to take a significant step forward with their plans to redevelop the City Ground in the next few months.
Plans to transform the Reds’ stadium into a world-class venue, in a multi-million pound project, were first unveiled in 2019.
Work had been due to get underway last summer, starting with knocking down and rebuilding the Peter Taylor Stand, but that was put on hold - with “delays in the planning process” cited.
In a fresh update, the club have said: “After more positive dialogue the club and its appointed consultants are finalising the last few outstanding documents for the planning submission.
“Most of this relates to further transportation data that is required (and the impact of covid).
“We are hopeful it will be completed over the next few weeks and the application submitted in the first quarter of 2021.”
In 2019, Forest set out their plans to give their home a significant face-lift, with increasing the capacity of the Peter Taylor Stand at the heart of their designs.
Work, which was due to begin at the end of the 2019/20 season, was delayed last summer as planning approval had not been granted.
However, it is understood the club believe positive strides have been made and they are hopeful of getting an application submitted in the first quarter of this year.
