The proposal also includes a hotel and music venue at the club’s planned new home which has a construction completion target of 2027.

Gary Sweet, Chief Executive of Luton Town Football Club said: “This important announcement is a pivotal moment for all supporters, residents and businesses of Luton.

“It also marks an important milestone for everyone who has worked tirelessly and diligently on the project over the last few months to shape it masterfully into the magnificent building we have presented to the planning officers.

“We hand-picked and structured an elite design team of architects, engineers and technicians who have been working with us, crafting every floor and corner of our new stadium to a detailed stage such that it can now be submitted, publicly aired and presented as a well-prepared detailed design instruction for contractors.

AECOM and SISA, supported by Klaska Ltd and Trivandi, have been appointed as Lead Designer of the stadium and public realm for the pre-planning stage.
