Ipswich Town Submits Plans For Training Ground Redevelopment

Ipswich Town Football Club has announced that a full planning application for development of the Club’s training centre has now been submitted.

The redevelopment of the Playford Road site includes the creation of a state‑of‑the‑art first‑team building along with a refurbished and extended building for our Academy and Women’s teams.

The number of pitches at the training centre (13) will remain the same once the redevelopment has been completed. New areas will include extra staff facilities, a hydrotherapy centre, and modernised gym, rehabilitation and performance locations.

A new clear point of entry will also be open for all players, staff and visitors, with extra dining space and parking.

Work on the project is set to start in 2025, with completion the following year, ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The current main building at the training ground will be developed and refurbished to then be used by the Academy and Women’s teams on a permanent basis.

Local residents recently attended a neighbourhood engagement session with key Club stakeholders and the project team to discuss the plans in greater detail. Feedback received has been considered in the plans submitted.
