Aston Villa's Villa Park ground
Villa Park is among the oldest Premier League grounds

The capacity of Villa Park will be increased to over 50,000.

The area around the stadium is being developed by the club.

A new North Stand and improvements to the Trinity Road Stand are included in the pre- application planning consultation.

Improvements will start next year.

The pre-planning phase allows local residents and businesses to give feedback on the plans.

The vision for Villa Park is to become a world class sporting venue and a thriving community destination.

The stadium needs to be redeveloped to meet growing demand. We want to improve the matchday experience and create a year-round entertainment venue to benefit both the community and our fans.
