Aberdeen fans’ group Dons Supporters Together (DST) welcomed the decision to approve the application.
The group’s research indicated more than 75% of supporters backed the move and DST today insisted the continued input of the fans is vital to making the Aurora project a success.
DST spokesman Gordon Duncan said: “We believe that fans are the moral owners of the football club and they should have the most considerable influence in the design and features of the stadium.
“Fans have shown an appetite for a safe standing section in the new stadium, as well as a ‘fan zone’ area to provide pre and post-match entertainment.
“This is an incredible opportunity for the club to create a special matchday experience blending the modern and traditional.
“Should the club want the fans to show up in numbers, pay their money and support their team then this has to be a stadium for them.
“With this blank slate, Aberdeen Football Club has a unique chance to create that.”
