Hide AdA welded steel structure is proposed as its replacement which would be finished in blue to match the clubhouse and ticket office.
The Premier Grandstand proposed would be delivered to site in one piece and fixed down on to a concrete base.
The council’s environmental protection team has said it has no objection.
Winds of up to 98mph during the November storm also caused extensive damage to Alnwick Town Juniors pitch and clubhouse, at Greensfield, which is facing a six-figure repair bill.
