SUNDERLAND Football Club has applied to extend the planning permission it has for a major upgrade of the Stadium of Light.
The club has applied so the permission to extend the South Stand and build a further 7,232 seats can remain active for another five years.
The original application was made some time ago, but after the club's fall from the Premiership, the decision was made to postpone the work.
This application means the club would have another five years to start work.
