Real Bedford FC has submitted a new planning application to upgrade facilities at the Ledger Stadium following promotion to Step 3 of the National League System.
The planning application submitted to Bedford Borough Council said the club must complete further improvements by 31 March 2026 to the ground-grading requirements.
The proposed works include installing two new 50-seat covered stands and a 15-metre extension to the existing canopy stand for standing spectators.
A wooden stand on the south-east side of the pitch would be removed as part of the plans.
More information can be found on the council’s planning portal, reference 25/02381/MAF.
The overall consultation expiry date is Friday, January 9, 2026.
