New ground to be designed by team led by Aecom and Sisa
Luton Borough Council has granted planning permission for a new 25,000-seat stadium for Luton Town Football Club, marking a major milestone in the club鈥檚 plans to relocate from their historic home at Kenilworth Road.
The new stadium is set to be built at Power Court, a centrally-located site in Luton. The Hatters鈥� current ground, which has been their home for nearly 120 years, holds just over 12,000 fans but is considered outdated and no longer fit for purpose.
The detailed plans for the project were submitted by Luton Town鈥檚 development company, 2020 Developments, with a design team led by Aecom and sports architecture specialists Sisa. Additional contributors include architect Klaska and venues consultant Trivandi.
Luton Town and 2020 Developments鈥� chief operating officer Michael Moran commented: 鈥淗aving 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.鈥�
The club, which spent last season in the Premier League before being relegated to the Championship, aims to have the new stadium operational by 2027, offering a modern venue to support their ambitions both on and off the pitch.
