ASTON VILLA'S plans to expand Villa Park have been put on hold for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

The Premier League side had already been granted planning permission to completely rebuild the North Stand.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It would have seen the capacity increase by 10,000 seats to 52,000.<\/p>\n

However, Villa's president of business operations Chris Heck is not convinced that 2024 would be the right time to expand.<\/p>\n

He believes the club would be adding "too many seats too fast".<\/p>\n

Speaking in a video for the official Aston Villa website, Heck said: "We have 42,000 seats. A substantial amount. To add on 10,000 right now doesn\u2019t seem practical to me.<\/p>\n

"We talk about Villa Park being a fortress. It is true. I think it would be a bad idea to tear down one of the stands for two years while we are playing like we are.<\/p>\n

"Going forward, I think everything should be about all fans and not just one particular stand."<\/p>\n

Villa Park's current capacity of 42,600 would have been reduced to around 34,000 while the rebuild took place.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa already have more than 30,000 fans on a season ticket waiting list, which is why club officials initially decided to go through with the expansion plans.<\/p>\n

However, Heck is concerned about how the infrastructure around the stadium and in local areas would cope with the increased capacity.<\/p>\n

He added: "They are extremely ambitious ideas. During the summer months I became concerned we were adding too many seats too fast.<\/p>\n

"I believe it was important we took a step back and re-evaluate what is best for our fans.<\/p>\n

"I mention this with the transportation and the parking situation."<\/p>\n

Aston Villa currently sit third in the Premier League table, just one point adrift of leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n
