A residential development of two mansion blocks above generates a cash windfall of £100 million for MCC to fund some new stands. The development incorporates new MCC facilities worth £35 million including an undercroft broadcasting compound, parking and service area, and a new north gate with a further £15 million of benefits in kind amounting to £150 million overall.
Entrance view from Wellington Gate
The centrepiece of the proposal is a two storey Nursery Pavilion which preserves a gap between the Nursery Ground and St John’s Wood Church Gardens and creates a dramatic new entrance with wider pavements making Wellington Road a friendlier and more cricket focused frontage.
