Falkirk have been given the green light to construct a South Stand at the Falkirk Stadium, Westfield.
The new seating area will accommodate approximately 2000 fans and will be modelled on the existing North Stand.
Funding for the project has been secured after discussions with the Premier League club's board and a local private business investor.
A statement on the Falkirk website says work on the new development should begin in April 2008.
The Falkirk Stadium currently has just two stands and has a capacity of around 6000.
