Under the agreement, Wates Partnerships will take responsibility for securing planning permission for both the stadium works and the housing scheme.

A planning application is expected to be submitted next year.

The sale of the new homes planned should generate sufficient value to enable vital advancements to the club to be realised, helping to provide a sustainable future for Aldershot Town Football Club.
