Manchester City have submitted a planning application to expand the Etihad Stadium and construct a new fan zone, sky bar and a hotel.
City have averaged the sixth-highest attendance in the Premier League this season, with just over 53,200 fans on average attending each match at the Etihad Stadium.
Since the completion of the South Stand development in 2015, the stadium has had a capacity of 55,000.
With the Etihad Stadium one of the grounds included in the United Kingdom and Ireland EURO 2028 bid, City are now proposing to expand the North Stand and take the overall capacity to over 60,000.
Unlike the South Stand which had a third tier added to it, City propose to expand the second tier of the North Stand above the existing lower tier.
Also part of the application is a proposal to introduce a sky bar above the upper tier with views overlooking the pitch, together with a stadium roof walk experience.
The reigning Premier League champions also plan to redevelop the City Square fan zone into a fully covered venue, with a capacity for 3,000 people, food and drink outlets, a new club shop, museum and a 400-bed hotel.
An unexpected inclusion in the application is a workspace for use by start-up and medium-sized organisations looking to co-locate and collaborate with the Club, City Football Group and Etihad Campus partners.
The application was submitted after City held a consultation period, where fans and the local community were invited to share their feedback on concepts and designs.
Supporters who provided feedback via a questionnaire were overall in favour of the concepts and proposals presented.
City say the development will take up to three years to complete, and will see over £300m invested into East Manchester while providing 2,600 jobs for local people.
In a statement, City said: “As 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.”
It is not clear how supporters who sit in the North Stand will be affected while construction takes place.
