Barnet are "devastated" after the local council decided to defer the decision to grant the club planning permission to redevelop their Underhill ground.
The Bees submitted plans to build two new stands, improve facilities for disables supporters and replace existing floodlights in order to comply with the Football League's minimum standards.
But the council's decision could now mean the League Two club may have to groundshare with another side before the end of the season.
"I am devastated by this no-decision," chairman Tony Kleanthous told the club's official website.
"Obviously the club needs a few days to consider the next step and consult with the Football League, who may demand a groundshare.
"Our application was for the minimum requirement to meet the league criteria.
"If this cannot be achieved in the timescale, and pretty obviously it can't, we must think of relocation and intensify our announced aim of moving to a new stadium."
