Chelsea have received a boost in their new stadium plans.

The Daily Mail says the club's hopes for a £1bn overhaul of their Stamford Bridge stadium appeared to be over at the end of March when planning permission expired without work beginning.

But on Monday, Jenrick unveiled plans that the government hope will ignite a construction boom to help the economy in the coronavirus era.

Jenrick said that "planning permission deadlines will be extended... (that) will prevent work that has been temporarily disrupted by the pandemic from stopping altogether".

And that is the key for Chelsea - sites that had an expiry date in lockdown are eligible for an extension until April 1, 2021. Their planning permission expired on March 31 and lockdown started March 23.
