Scunthorpe United Football Club (SUFC) has submitted a planning application to the North Lincolnshire Council for a new £18m stadium located west of Scunthorpe.
The 12,000-seater stadium is set to be developed as part of the mixed-use Lincolnshire Lakes project – which is spearheaded by Lucent Group and will include 3,500 new houses, a commercial park, a school and a transport hub.
The designs and masterplan for the stadium have been created by the Frank Whittle Partnership and come as SUFC chair Peter Swann is keen to provide the club with a new home and move the club from its current 9,000-capacity Glanford Park.
Since taking over in 2013, Swann has made his priority to increase the League One club's commercial opportunities and to make operations more economically sustainable – as well as move to a site which is more accessible and could potentially attract more supporters.
North Lincolnshire Council is expected to make its decision later this spring.
