Leicester City Football Club (LCFC) has submitted a planning application for a new training facility. The clubs aims to have 12 full-size pitches, various smaller fields and a full-size indoor pitches. A Sports Turf Academy that will train the next generation elite groundsmen, is also included in the plans.

LCFC intends to establish the new world-class football training facility at the former Park Hill Golf and Fishing Centre.

A key priority to this vision is to develop an excellent training facility that provides an inspirational ‘place of work’ for the Club’s First team, development squad and academy, with an aspirational environment for the next generation of professionals.

Apart from all new fields, a fully integrated training facility building for the academy and First team players, incorporating medical, tactical, training and dining facilities will also be built.

The club also intends to build a Sports Turf Academy, which will train the next generation of elite groundsmen / women. This component of the project will also include a 499-seat stand with a show pitch to allow under-23s and U18s to play in a ‘match environment’. It will certainly also be a perfect platform for the club’ groundsman to skill is grass cutting and design skills.

The proposals also seek to enhance the characteristics of the site and will generate a net increase in biodiversity across the area including the creation of 17 new wildlife and attenuation ponds with a total area of 9,400 sqm.

Over 38,000 new trees will be planted to enhance 11.23 hectares retained woodland and create 4.41 hectares new broadleaved plantation, and improvement of retained Local Wildlife Site and creation of 14.59 hectares wildflower grassland.
