Luton Town Football Club has received the green light from Luton Borough Council to proceed with its plans for a new 25,000-capacity stadium at Power Court.
The decision, made by the Council's planning committee, marks a significant milestone in the club's efforts to deliver a state-of-the-art venue and drive long-term regeneration in Luton town centre.
The planning application, submitted by the club's development arm, 2020 Developments, in September, includes detailed proposals for the stadium alongside an outline plan for an adjacent hotel and music venue. The Power Court project forms part of a larger redevelopment of the 20-acre site, which also encompasses 1,200 residential apartments, commercial spaces, and high-quality public areas.
The Power Court stadium is expected to become a central feature of the town's revitalisation, bringing new opportunities for local business and community engagement. The design integrates modern facilities with a focus on enhancing the matchday experience for fans while serving as a multi-purpose venue for non-football events.
The approval represents a major step forward for Luton Town FC, both on and off the pitch, and aligns with broader efforts to transform Luton into a vibrant hub for living, leisure, and commerce. The stadium is set to strengthen the club’s position in English football while creating a lasting legacy for the town.
Further details on construction timelines and next steps for the Power Court development are expected to follow in due course.
