|November 01, 2025
Plans to develop Leeds United's Elland Road stadium could be approved if parking and road safety concerns are resolved.
Leeds United plan to increase Elland Road's capacity to 53,000.
The city council and club bosses hope to avoid a delay to the project, which would eventually boost seating capacity at the ground to 53,000.
A first phase of the scheme would see the partial demolition and redevelopment of the West Stand.
The North Stand would be redeveloped under longer-term plans for the ground.
