London - The latest phase of the 'Masterplan' redevelopment of Lord's was unveiled on Friday with a scheme to replace the "tired" Allen and Tavern stands in the south-west corner of the self-styled 'home of cricket'.
Marylebone Cricket Club, owners of the celebrated ground in north-west London, intend to build a single new structure in their place with more than 5 500 seats - taking the overall capacity to nearly 30 000.
Planning permission and the approval of the MCC's membership are still required, but if officials get the go-ahead the scheme will also see the building of a new Tavern pub, enlarged dressing rooms in the pavilion and a "more pedestrian-friendly entrance to the ground", via the Grace Gates.
