Aberystwyth Town Football Club are delighted to confirm the submission of a full planning application to Ceredigion County Council for the redevelopment of Aberystwyth University Park Avenue Stadium.
The application follows over 18-months of detailed work behind-the-scenes to create a comprehensive masterplan for the future of our historic and much-loved ground. The Club has engaged with key stakeholders throughout, including the Football Association of Wales, and undertook a 28-day Pre-Application Consultation exercise in February 2025 ahead of the formal planning submission to Ceredigion County Council this week (Wednesday 16th April).
The Club is wholly committed to providing the highest standard of sporting and recreational facilities for the local community and the wider Mid Wales region, and is confident that the extensive efforts and financial commitments made to this point highlight the ambitions of the Club.
The masterplan includes a new two-and-a-half storey building extending from the existing gantry to the Police Station corner, providing new UEFA-standard players' and male / female officials' changing rooms, first aid room, kitchen, clubhouse / bar and community / events rooms with panoramic pitchside views, meeting room, rooftop terrace and bar, and over 100 covered spectator seats.
Provided elsewhere are secondary players' changing rooms, a new 310-seater goal-end stand, roof coverings to Nark's Corner standing terrace and the open seated stand with re-built disabled spectator platform, improvements to accessibility throughout the ground, and a new turnstile and two storey building to the main entrance providing secondary kitchen facilities and 1200sq.ft of business / office space.
The full suite of plans and supporting documents can be viewed through the following link:
As part of the planning application, a further consultation process is now underway by Ceredigion County Council to statutory consultees and the general public before a recommendation is made to the Development Management Committee for decision.
The Club shall keep our loyal Black and Green supporters updated of the application's progress in due course. Thank you for your continued support!
