Even the 'simplest' planning applications take about 8 weeks to decide, so probably no decision from the Council before mid March.
If work has started today then the club is in breach of planning regs and the Council could serve a 'stop notice' on them, pending its decision on the planning application.
If the club really is trying to build bridges (as well as terracing) with the "community" it might be prudent to either wait for the Council to give its decision before starting work, or to make sure it submits planning applications well before it needs to do work that requires permission.
