Colchester are set for a new 10,000 all-seater stadium after getting the go-ahead from the local council.
Plans for the new stadium on the outskirts of town at Cuckoo Farm were approved at a planning committee meeting on Thursday evening.
The development is part of a multi-million pound plan which would include 1,500 homes, a police station, a primary school, hotel, health and leisure centre.
Colchester's chief executive Marie Partner told the club's website: "My first reaction is relief and my second reaction is that I am ecstatic.
"Colchester has always been regarded as a little club. I'd like to think that a lot of our dreams can become reality."
