8th August 2024

Since Dark Blue Property Holdings Ltd submitted its Planning Permission in Principle documentation to the planning department of Dundee City Council on February 8 for the Camperdown Stadium project, it has continued to work tirelessly in the background with consultants to ensure the vision can become a reality as efficiently as possible.

Following the awarding of planning permission for the city’s Eden Project on June 20, we received feedback from the council’s planning department on June 28 on our February submission.

Since then, we have continued to engage with consultants as well as the planning department to ensure the submission is not only compelling and compliant but enables a more efficient next step in the submission on a full planning application.

Based on the timelines above, the August 12 committee meeting will not go ahead as scheduled. While we are all eager to bring the Camperdown Stadium Project to life, we will continue to respect the planning process in the hope that the council observes its stated objective to “work with developers to remove barriers”.

We will soon publish a spectacular visual fly-through of the new stadium to whet the appetite of our fans, alongside a new FAQs section on a new microsite within the existing club website.

This follows the exciting news last week that the Dundee FC Community Trust has submitted a planning application for a new community training hub at Riverside. This will accommodate our extensive community and youth programmes, as well as girls’ and women’s football and the Dundee FC first team.

We will continue to keep supporters updated on the exciting developments at Dundee Football Club.
