Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) looks to be reconsidering plans by David Morley Architects for the £200m redevelopment of the Nursery End at Lord’s cricket ground in London, with members seemingly more focused on a £200m redevelopment of the ground’s south-west corner and Warner Stand.

Members will vote on the £21m regeneration of the 60-year-old Warner Stand in September, with the development featuring a semi-translucent roof on a new 2,922-capacity stand, designed by Populous. The new Warner Stand will be the first phase of a £200m, 14-year redevelopment of the "home of cricket", which will increase the venue's capacity from the current 28,000 to 32,000.

A decision on the older Nursery End scheme has already been deferred by a year, after MCC members voted to delay the decision and instead look into redeveloping the area around the Warner Stand. The original David Morley Architects proposal includes two 11-storey housing developments, enlarged events and broadcasting space and a new entrance on Wellington Road.

“There has been much discussion within the membership concerning the redevelopment of land leased from RLP. It is also recognised that there is a significant amount of confusion among members on this subject and the committee is keen to clarify the position,” said outgoing MCC chair, Oliver Stocken, in a statement to club members.

“The review will also provide an appraisal of the club’s 10-year financial projections, including the funding plans for the South-Western Project. The future of international cricket and the strength of the position of Lord’s is an important context for this aspect of the review.”
