Exeter City reveals development plans for St James Park
- Published
A new grandstand is a key part of the proposed St James Park development
Exeter City Football Club has started a consultation process over development plans for St James Park.
The proposals include building a block of student accommodation behind the Big Bank stand and replacing the old grandstand which was built in 1926.
The Grecians' acting-chairman, Julian Tagg, said the Health & Safety Executive had been "trying to close down" the old stand for over a decade.
He said it was desperately needed as the club was "at a point of no return".
Both the ground and the area of land earmarked for development are owned by Exeter City Council.
A public consultation will follow at the end of July and the club hopes to submit a planning application in the autumn.
If the plans are approved, work could start immediately after next season's last home game on 30 April, 2016.
