A new 60,000-seat stadium was backed by the local council in January and another big step towards consent was taken on Monday
Chelsea's plans for a £500 million redevelopment of Stamford Bridge have been approved by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
The state-of-the-art new stadium, which has a proposed capacity of 60,000, was backed by Hammersmith and Fulham council in January, but the Mayor's support was needed to formalise the approval into full planning consent.
Khan's backing is another significant step forward in the regulatory process, with Chelsea hoping to have the work completed in time for the 2021-22 campaign.
