Fresh plans for Bristol's County Ground have been announced by Gloucestershire County Cricket Club (GCCC), two months after its previous vision for the venue was rejected.

The club said the Stride Treglown Tektus-designed redevelopment project will secure its future in the city, while also providing facilities designed to support growth plans for the sport in the region.

GCCC's latest plans also aim to establish a venue capable of supporting international games and the club said it had addressed concerns raised in relation to its previous application.

If approved by Bristol City Council (BCC), the County Ground will boast a seating capacity of 17,000 - 7,500 of which will be permanent - and a fit-for-purpose media centre.

A GCCC spokesperson said: "We have listened and responded to concerns raised by the council's planning committee about height and scale of the development."

Meanwhile, BCC has awarded GCCC a loan worth £400,000 while the future of the County Ground is resolved. It will be repaid regardless of whether the latest plans are approved.
