Leicester City’s owners have been given the go-ahead to start redeveloping the King Power Stadium and the land around it.
The Thai owners want to want to add another tier to the stadium’s East Stand and add almost 8,000 seats, taking capacity to 40,000.
They also want to add new hospitality suites in the lower part of the extension which would wrap around the North and South stands like a big bubble. The plans have been years in the making and had been held up for several months during the planning process, but councillors on Leicester City Council have finally given them the nod.
