Wasps previously held home games at a number of different football stadiums including those owned by QPR, Wycombe and Coventry.

Wasps owner Christopher Holland told : "It's very rewarding that we have managed to achieve this milestone with the support of key stakeholders.

"It brings our aspiration of a new home in the region closer and hopefully demonstrates our determination to recover Wasps sustainably."

Wasps confirmed during the development process they will be "exploring temporary facilities".
