An English rugby team’s stadium plan sparks concern for beavers, bats and UNESCO designation

Bath Rugby wants to expand from about 14,500 capacity to 18,000 .

The city of Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site , renowned for its Roman roots, Georgian architecture and scenic landscapes.

A Green Party member of the Bath and North East Somerset Council worries that reducing the “green setting” will impact the UNESCO designation.

The council has targeted September for a decision.

Residents scored a legal victory a few years ago by citing a 1922 covenant that said nothing should be built on the ground that would disturb the neighborhood.

Bath Rugby got that overturned when the Court of Appeal ruled that covenant language was too vague.

The Supreme Court in October 2022 declined to hear an application to appeal the ruling.

The club has been revising it since then to incorporate feedback.
