Leicester City stadium expansion set for council approval

Councillors are set to approve plans for Leicester City to expand the King Power Stadium by 8,000 seats.

The club applied for planning permission from Leicester City Council in October 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.

The council's planning committee is set to vote on the plans on Wednesday but officers have recommended they approve the designs.

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