The move comes just days after West Ham's permission to take over the stadium was rescinded after threats of legal action by fellow bid rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The Os' official website carried a statement from Hearn today, it read, "We are asking for a 25,000 seat stadium and we want to see if we can get around the athletics track. It has to stay, we know that. But can we build up, if not down, and see if it's possible to get it covered while we play?"
"We have submitted an application for permission to move to the Football League, and that permission is something that West Ham don't yet have. It was the Premier League who gave them the green light to move in their original plan, but they are no longer members of the Premier League."
