Southend United Football Club has won planning permission to build a new 22,000-seater stadium.

The new development at Fossetts Farm will also involve the construction of a hotel and around 1,500 homes, as well as a club shop, restaurant and conference space.

The decision on the stadium, designed by architect Populous, will now go to the government for approval.
