Work is set to restart on Arnold Town's ?1.6m football stadium after new plans for the site were accepted by councillors.

Gedling Borough Council issued a temporary stop notice at the Eagle Valley site after development plans were changed without permission.

But after re-positioning the clubhouse in their application the club has been told it can continue work in order to be ready by the start of the season in August.

The decision was made at a meeting of the council's planning committee last night.

Committee chairman John Boot told the Nottingham Evening Post: "The club got permission to build at the east end of the site but they started building in the middle.

"Given the significance of the site that was a mistake.

"The club have regularised the building work and can now get on with their building."

The stop notice was issued in March and expired on April 10th - but work was not set to continue until the plans were agreed with the council.

Arnold Town chairman Roy Francis said: "We put the plans in again. They were very similar to what they were before."

During the five week pause in construction, work has continued on the seeding of the pitches and the club believe that the final delay will be minimal.

Meanwhile, the demolition of their Gedling Road ground will commence on April 28th.
