Planning permission has been granted for Bournemouth to modernise the Vitality Stadium.

Infrastructure and the matchday experience will be boosted by the approval granted by the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.

The approved works include a new perimeter fence and turnstiles, revisions to pedestrian and cycle routes, a new outside broadcast area and the enclosure of the West Stand terraces.

In addition to enhanced safety and accessibility, the works are the foundation for future phases of the club's redevelopment plans.

"This is an exciting and important moment for the club," said Cherries owner Bill Foley.

"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."
