Architects, Zaha Hadid Architects were chosen in November 2016 following a design competition.[2]
The stadium was granted planning permission by Stroud District Council in December 2019 following amendments having initially been rejected in June 2019.[3] It was approved in December 2019 and the green energy company Ecotricity revealed the revised plans in January 2022.[4]
The Eco Park stadium is estimated to cost £100m and does not yet have a target for completion.[5]
Sustainability characteristics
The stadium will have the lowest carbon footprint of any football stadium in the world.[6] It will only use renewable energy from the wind and the sun generated by Ecotricity and generate over 80% of its energy on site.[6]
