Darlington are hoping to move to a new stadium but not until the 2025/26 season.
The Quakers, who are fan-owned, have a number of sites in mind.
The new stadium will be built to Football League standards and is expected to have a capacity of in excess of 5000 fans.
The club hope the cost will be partly met by various grants.
Darlington Chief Executive Officer and Club Chairman, David Johnston, said: “We look forward to working closely with all the various stakeholders to deliver a solution that meets the club’s ambitions. We appreciate that this will take some time to deliver and that there is plenty of work to be done before construction even starts.
“This proposal provides the opportunity to develop a sustainable solution with facilities centred at the heart of the community offering sporting and recreational facilities that will appeal to many people and most of all a stadium that will allow the club and its fanbase to progress.
“Whilst this proposal is in its early stages, and the club are considering a number of alternative locations for the new facility, the political support to secure a site is the first step towards developing this solution.”
