Leeds City Council wants to increase the amount of people allowed into concerts at the park from the current limit of 19,999. Roundhay would become one of the UK's biggest outdoor venues if a licence variation is granted.

The proposal and objections from some people living nearby will be heard by the council's licensing committee on Monday (August 18).
