Hybrid planning application submitted for King Power Stadium development

On behalf of Leicester City Football Club Turley has submitted a hybrid planning application to Leicester City Council for the proposed development of the King Power Stadium site.

We are providing expert Planning, Strategic Communications, Sustainability, EIA and Economics services for the project. The submission follows an extensive pre-application public consultation, which ran between August and September this year. During this period, the Club received thousands of pieces of written and in-person feedback from stakeholders throughout the East Midlands, including local authorities, businesses, community groups, neighbours, fans and other interested parties. 

The response during the consultation period was overwhelmingly positive and the Club expressed its sincere thanks to all participants for the level of engagement and constructive, valuable feedback that has contributed to the hybrid submission.

The application will now be validated by Leicester City Council before being determined by the planning committee in the first few months of next year. Ahead of that decision, the Club hopes to be given permission to start some early enabling works on site, which it applied for last month.

We are part of the Club’s external project team, which also includes project managers Legends International and architects KSS. 

Having now shared the proposals with a diverse range of stakeholders in the city, the project team’s belief in the project’s transformational potential has been strengthened. We look forward to continuing to work with Leicester City Football Club and its partners towards the realisation of that vision.
