AFC Wimbledon and Galliard Homes have lodged plans for a new stadium and 600 homes to be built in Merton, south London.
As well as housing, the club is seeking to build a 20,000-seat stadium with an initial capacity of 11,000, which will sit alongside a complex of shops and a leisure centre.
Merton council has registered the plans and the club will learn if it has been successful in 16 weeks’ time.
The council will now begin a statutory consultation process whereby 4,500 letters will be delivered to local residents with details of the application.
