Aston Villa have released new CGI images of the Villa Park redevelopment plans.
In June, the club launched a pre-application planning consultation on the first phase of its long-term vision for Villa Park and the surrounding area.
The first phase of the plans includes a brand-new North Stand connecting into Trinity Stand, and enhancements to the existing Trinity Stand which will see capacity for the stadium increase to over 50,000 - and the club have now announced that they will submit a planning application for the redevelopment and expansion of the stadium at the end of August 2022.
The club say the development will also see improvements to fan experience through an upgraded food and beverage offering, enhanced hospitality packages, improved connectivity and more. The move follows a public consultation that ran in June and July, in which nearly 10,000 residents and businesses, stakeholders and fans had their say on the plans.
Aston Villa CEO Christian Purslow said: “Following a successful consultation period, we are pleased to announce that we will be submitting our proposals for the redevelopment and expansion of Villa Park at the end of the month.
“We have received a hugely positive response from the local community, our supporters and other stakeholders and are confident that this project will transform both the stadium and the local area.
“These new CGI images showcase our spectacular vision for Villa Park which includes a brand-new commercial destination, Villa Live and high-quality public space for the community. We look forward to continuing to work with all partners to realise our future
