Aston Villa have announced that they will be putting plans to redevelop Villa Park on hold for the forseeable future, despite being granted planning permission to redevelop the historic stadium.

Villa unveiled their 'spectacular vision' to expand the ground's capacity by adding an additional 10,000 seats to the 42,640-seat stadium.

The proposals had included the addition of a new two-tiered North Stand which was completed in 1977, and upgrades to the Trinity Stadnd that could potentially sit an additional 7,500 supporters.

Despite that, Villa's president of business operations, Chris Heck, has admitted that the proposals may be a little too ambitious to be completed in the coming years, with the executive noting how well the team has been playing this season.
