Manchester City have submitted a planning application for a \u00a3300m expansion of Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
The club want to increase the current capacity of 53,400 to 60,000 by expanding the North Stand.<\/p>\n
Proposals include a sky bar overlooking the pitch and a stadium roof walk experience.<\/p>\n
A 3,000-capacity fan zone, new club shop and museum, and 400-bed hotel have also been proposed in the application to Manchester City Council.<\/p>\n
The club say the project, which would take three years to complete, would create a \u201cbest-in-class fan experience and year-round entertainment and leisure destination\u201d.<\/p>\n
The planning application follows a consultation with fans and the local community.<\/p>\n
City say the proposals represent more than \u00a3300m investment into east Manchester, and could create 2,600 jobs, with priority for people from Greater Manchester.<\/p>\n
There are also plans for new office spaces for businesses that want to work in collaboration with the club and their partners.<\/p>\n
In August, City announced discussions were in a primary phase to expand the two-tier North Stand to three tiers, but their planning application proposes to expand the single upper tier above the existing lower tier.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs with all Club developments, ensuring our local community benefit is a key priority and we believe these proposals will deliver long-term economic and social opportunities, building on the regeneration work delivered in east Manchester by City Football Group since 2008,\u201d said Danny Wilson, managing director of Manchester City Operations.<\/p>\n
The Etihad was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and has been home to the Premier League champions since 2003.<\/p>\n
An expansion in 2015 added 6,000 seats and the ground currently has the fifth-largest capacity of Premier League stadiums.<\/p>\n
