Birmingham City Council is likely to approve redevelopment plans for Aston Villa Football Club’s Villa Park stadium this week.
The club’s plans include an enhanced North Stand capable of seating 50,065 people, an increase of 7,408, as well as a 33,000 sq ft mixed-use leisure building called Villa Live and 75,000 sq ft of public realm enhancements across and around the site.
The proposed plans were submitted by Trivandi and Grimshaw Architects on behalf of the club.
They will replace the existing club shop, academy building and security lodge with the Villa Live centre, a multi-use leisure building which will include sports, retail, commercial, community and cafe/bar uses.
The proposals also includes reconfiguring the North Stand car park to include 539 car parking spaces, 54 electric charging spaces and 210 cycle parking spaces.
If approved, the upgrades would make the football ground one of the highest-capacity stadiums in the Premier League.
