Premier League team AFC Bournemouth is poised to submit plans to increase the capacity of its 11,464-seater Vitality Stadium.

The plans, which include the development of a new permanent South Stand and the southwest and southeast corners being filled in, will see capacity increase to 14,529.

Each corner stand will have 428 seats, while the new South Stand will be able to accommodate 4,559.

If the upgrades are accepted by the council, the Vitality Stadium will still be the smallest ground in the Premier League, although Bournemouth was only promoted to the top division last season. The club was in League Two – the fourth tier of English football – as recently as 2010.

Chief executive Neill Blake said that demand for tickets “far outweighs” the current capacity of the stadium, and that the plans were “sympathetic to local residents and members of the general public alike”.

“While the club’s success has brought a new national and international focus to the town, our local community has always been an important and vital element of the football club,” he added. “Therefore we are inviting local people to come to the club later this month to share our proposals with them.”

AFC Bournemouth has been playing at the ground – which was originally named Dean Court – since 1910.
