Colchester United are closer than ever to a new ground.
The U's are planning a new stadium on the outskirts of town at Cuckoo Farm.
One thousand new homes, a northern approach road and a business park are also planned for the site.
Colchester's chief executive Marie Partner told BBC Essex: "It's actually a bit scary because this is the closest we've been."
"The finishing touches are being put to the application. This should go before a planning committee on July 31st.
"I'm very optimistic and if it all gets the go ahead the first turf could be cut as early as September," she added.
