The Canaries have had a temporary agreement with the council to serve alcohol outside the ticket office, as well as during music concerts.
But under the new plans, the club wanted to secure permission to sell alcohol outside for three hours before the kick-off on home match days in part of the car park area.
Norwich City's bid did not receive any objections from the police but one local, understood to live in the vicinity of the stadium, complained.
The individual said the current arrangement was agreed without consultation with neighbours, who have complained about the noise from live music events.
The objector added: "There is no reason whatsoever why the club should require further bars to be situated on the road... Fans will be allowed to buy alcohol and litter at bars in the street while residents and traffic pass by.
"Not only will this lead to noisy and antisocial behaviour, it would also be dangerous... It is another example of mission creep by the football club and its plans to develop outside the stadium."
Despite the initial objection, Norwich City's application was approved uncontested, with a scheduled public hearing to debate the bid later dropped.
A licensing officer said it was approved without the need for a licensing hearing this week.
Norfolk Constabulary supported the application but insisted the club must make sure sufficient levels of staffing and security staff are in place to manage this area to avoid any disruption.
Norwich City has agreed to this condition.
The licensing application also includes permission to sell alcohol in the fanzone area for a maximum of three days a year when a music concert is taking place in the grounds.
