They already have planning permission for 4 screens, under the previous approval.

Its in the current proposal too - here's page 66 from the Design & Access Statement of the Planning App for the current build

There are other schematics which show it too - on page 93 (I think) is the view from the TV Studio Gantry showing two screen in the South Stand Corners

I’ll let you know when I’m walking on it. ;-)

Don't get me wrong I'l be first in line for the experience, in case anyone is not sure how its going to work and where you'll get to walk, here are a couple of pages from the planning app Design and Access Statement specifically about the Roof Top Walk - see the pink path on the roof below

Access starts at the ground level in the NW corner and there will be a lift straight up to the top at L04 where the exterior route starts (at 1 above)

The bit down the side (at 2, photographed by JRB above) with its alternate route back UNDER the roof of the stand seems to be an alternative , I guess that will become clear in time.

Access will be from the museum as part (extra) of the stadium tour via the link from the commercial building to the stand

For those who haven't see the DAS that is shown as
DAS-RTW4.jpg

And these schematics give an idea of the view at various points (and shows that under roof part of the walk seen on ssskies/cpoverviews videos) and showing the 3rd and 4th screens (again)

There is also mention of an option to climb the NW core and to abseil back down after the walk.

Aha hadn't clocked what 'controlled descent' meant! ;-)

Anyone know if this is the final finish for this bit or there something overlaying it? Took a walk around on Sunday. I think it could be so much better if this is to be the final finish. There's no texture or detail. It looks like an after thought (No Shit Sherlock) but the materials used to blend the south stand to the original structure are much cleaner and seamless.

I don't mind the abruptness of the stand coming out, just the blending of old to new.

I should really be patient and wait for the finished product, but can anyone elaborate?

Yeah can’t say I’m a huge fan of that finish either. Looks a bit bland and cheap (which maybe it is).

You can walk across it? High up? Why? (I get vertigo walking up the stairs!)

Looking at that diagram it looks like my question is answered. The protruding part of the roof indeed is a part of the sky walk after all.
