Fulham’s Riverside Stand redevelopment approved

Fulham’s proposed redevelopment of the Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage has been approved by Hammersmith & Fulham Council.

Planning permission was granted in 2013 and the enhanced proposals include the opening of the riverside walk from Putney to Hammersmith.

Work is expected to begin in the summer of next year.

Fulham chairman Shahid Khan said: “Our goal for a brighter future for Fulham Football Club, the neighbourhood, our borough and all of London is now at our doorstep.”
