The local authority notified the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government - Robert Jenrick - on Wednesday regarding the decision made in their planning committee regarding the new ground.
On Tuesday, planning application for the Blues' waterfront stadium was passed by a unanimous decision from the 11 councillors involved in the panel.
It was made clear that the next would involve the Secretary of State looking over the proposals and making a decision over whether to call them in for a higher level of Government scrutiny.
And it was further confirmed on Wednesday that they have until Wednesday March 17th to consider the decision.
