Luton Town FC have confirmed online that Luton Borough Council's planning committee have approved the planning application for their Power Court Stadium to be built.
The club says further information on the 25,000-capacity stadium is coming soon.
Events were held at Luton Town Hall yesterday (Monday 16 December) evening, as the club’s detailed planning application for its new Power Court stadium was set to be determined by Luton Borough Council’s planning committee.
Luton Town Football Club’s development company, 2020 Developments, formally submitted the application for a new 25,000-capacity stadium in September.
The club says the scheme "as a whole represents a major opportunity to secure long lasting regeneration for the town centre".
The hybrid planning application contains full detail on the stadium and also includes an updated outline submission for an adjacent hotel and music venue.
The development then sits within the wider 20-acre site owned by 2020 Developments which in turn, they say, will involve new areas of high quality public realm, 1200 apartments and new commercial areas.
Luton Town and 2020 Developments Chief Executive Officer, Gary Sweet said: “This planning committee date is another defining milestone in the delivery of our long-held plans for a new stadium.
"With its unique design and key characteristics we’ve incorporated and brought across from our much-loved Kenilworth Road, it really is tremendously exciting to address members of the planning committee and, hopefully, gain their formal approval”.
202\0 Developments Chief Operating Officer Michael Moran commented “Having already secured outline planning consent in 2019, we have worked through a complete re-design of the stadium concept alongside bringing forward the wider site where we are busy now with groundworks and putting the necessary infrastructure in place.
"After this evening it’s hoped the goal of having an iconic stadium in the heart of the town centre is one step closer”.
