Following reports yesterday that a deal to buy the land the City Ground sits on from Nottingham City Council is in progress, the authority with planning responsibility for the ground issues a statement.
Leader of Rushcliffe Borough Council Cllr Neil Clarke said: “We will continue to work constructively with all partners.
“It is positive Nottingham Forest and the City Council are continuing discussions and like all commercial negotiations, details remain confidential until finalised.
“We granted Nottingham Forest planning permission for their latest planning application to extend ground capacity and associated development in 2022 and should any further plans come forward these will go through our usual independent planning process.”
