AFC Bournemouth Secure Green Light for Vitality Stadium Enabling Works
AFC Bournemouth have taken a major step forward in their long-term vision after confirming that planning permission has been granted for the enabling works at Vitality Stadium, marking a significant milestone in the club’s ambitious redevelopment and future expansion plans.
The approved works are set to deliver key upgrades to the stadium’s infrastructure and matchday experience. These include the installation of a new perimeter fence and modern turnstile system, revisions to pedestrian and cycle routes to improve crowd flow, the creation of a dedicated outside broadcast area, and the enclosure of terraces within the West Stand.
Together, these improvements are designed to enhance safety, accessibility, and operational efficiency at Vitality Stadium, while also laying the essential foundations for future phases of redevelopment. The enabling works are viewed as a crucial first step towards transforming the stadium into a more modern, future-ready home that matches the club’s continued growth both on and off the pitch.
Speaking to afcb.co.uk, AFC Bournemouth owner Bill Foley expressed his excitement about the progress:
“This is an exciting and important moment for the club. Our proposed new stadium reflects not only our ambition on the pitch, but also our commitment to investing in the community. The project will deliver long-term benefits for supporters, local residents, and the wider region beyond the BCP area.”
With planning approval now secured, the club can move forward confidently, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable development, improved supporter experience, and a bold future for AFC Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium.
