Plans to move Dundee football club to a brand new stadium at Camperdown park have taken a major step forward.
Officials have begun the process of applying to Dundee City Council for planning permission to build the new ground near Dundee Ice Arena.
Screening and scoping enquiries have been submitted to the planning department by Dark Blue Property Holdings and Leadingham Jameson Rogers & Hynd Chartered Architects.
A public consultation is expected to follow in the near future, with a formal planning application being put to Dundee City Council in December.
It is hoped the designs for the new ground will then be drawn up in Spring 2018.
Bob Hynd of Leadingham Jameson Rogers & Hynd Architects said : "We are delighted to have been appointed as architects for this exciting and ambitious development.
"We have now been in discussion with Dundee Council regarding the concept of a stadium on part of this site for over a year and would like to thank them for the assistance they have given us.
"When Dundee Football Club were originally formed in 1893, they played their games at West Craigie Park.
"They then moved to a new ground at Carolina Port adjacent to the Docks in Dundee.
"In 1899, Dundee moved to their current home at Dens Park and we are delighted to be involved in what we hope will be the development of their new home for the future".
