Millwall Football Club is pleased to inform supporters that it has now formally submitted an application for full planning permission for a new training ground to Sevenoaks District Council.
The site in West Kingsdown would bring the first team and Academy training operations together and provide new office space for club management, support staff, and an additional base for the Millwall Community Trust.
“This is the most important step in this process so far,” CEO Steve Kavanagh told millwallfc.co.uk. “So much work has gone into getting the club to this point and I’d like to thank everybody involved for their efforts in finalising the planning application.
“It is now with Sevenoaks Council to assess, and we will continue to provide all the necessary assistance and flexibility in ensuring the plans are the best they can be not just for the club, its players, and its staff, but for the entire local community. That has been our focus throughout and will continue to be so.”
As per this indicative timeline, the club hopes that a decision on its application can be reached by the end of Autumn of this year. However, this is not guaranteed, though supporters will be kept informed of meaningful developments as and when they occur.
