The club signed a Section 106 and lease agreement in July 2012, activating the planning permission which had been granted subject to the 42 conditions recommended by the Head of Planning back in October 2011.
Many of these conditions would be routinely applied to applications, such as the ground must be completed within three years (July 2015) and the building matching the submitted drawings.
Other conditions include the recommendation that F.C. United not play any home games when Manchester City are also at home, or there being a major event at the City of Manchester Stadium due to the grounds being just over 3 miles apart and the possible impact on traffic and car parking availability within the area.
Floodlights on one of the community pitches must be switched off at 8pm, with the other pitches being allowed to operate until 9pm.
The club's original target was to open the Ten Acres Lane site in August 2012.
However, several delays ensued including the change of site to Moston and a 13-week "cooling off period" after the successful application.
The F.C. United board had initially identified a tentative construction start date of May 2012, but the legal challenge to the council's decision delayed this for nearly 18 months until work finally began in November 2013.

The ground was then scheduled to be completed by September 2014 with the work being undertaken by Barnes Construction.
The project manager was Frank Whittle Partnerships.
The completion target was to be 40 weeks after construction had commenced.
The club had hoped to play the 2014–15 season in their own ground.
However, some difficulties with the steel and logistics led to delays.
The opening was initially moved back to December 2014 but further delays led to F.C. United playing the entire 2014–15 season at Bower Fold in Stalybridge and at Curzon Ashton's Tameside Stadium.
Much of the stadium's fittings were constructed by fans and volunteers, while one terrace was recycled from the Drill Field ground in Northwich which had closed in 2002.
The facilities were largely completed by April 2015  and a test event was held at the ground on 16 May 2015.
