Leicester City stadium expansion given council approval

Plans for Leicester City to expand the King Power Stadium by 8,000 seats have been approved.

The club applied for planning permission from Leicester City Council in October 2021 after a public consultation.

It also wants to build a new hotel and business centre, a flagship fan store, an events arena and residential flats.

Councillors initially approved plans in September 2022, pending a financial agreement, which has now been reached.

Leicester City set out plans in 2021 to expand the capacity of their ground to 40,000 seats, making it the 10th largest among current Premier League sides.
