The news is great news for the club who have been looking to move uaway from their present site for a number of years.
Chairman John Fenty told his clubs official site www.grimsbytown.co.uk:
This is great news and represents a major step towards securing the long-term future of the club. I would like to thank NELC's Planning Committee for its support of our application and the council's officers for their hard work over the last year.
"The application will need to be signed off by the Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber but this will hopefully be a quick exercise given the strong planning policy support for the scheme.
Once planning permission is in play, marketing of the enabling development can begin in earnest. We will begin working up our detailed proposals as soon as we know that tenant demand is in place.
Once again, can I reassure the residents and Parish Council of Great Coates of our commitment to be a good neighbour and to involve them in the implementation of the match day management and control measures."
