Liverpool Football Club today
(Monday) submitted a planning application for the proposed redevelopment of its
first-team training ground at Melwood.
The document submitted to
Liverpool City Council applies for outline planning permission for the
redevelopment of the Melwood site into much-needed quality family housing,
which is in line with the council’s Local Plan.
The application forms part
of the club’s plans to bring LFC’s first team and Academy football training
operations and facilities together on one site in Kirkby.
Melwood has played a
significant role in the club’s history, but the site is limited in terms of
space and is unable to accommodate the club’s ambitions for a new first-class
combined training facility.
The planning application
is expected to be determined by the council’s Planning Committee later this
year.
If permission is granted,
the proposed redevelopment could provide up to 160 new family homes with open
space and landscaping. The planning application also seeks permission for
vehicular access from Melwood Drive and Deysbrook Lane, in addition to cycle
and pedestrian access from Crown Road.
Should the club be
successful in obtaining planning consent, housing developers will be invited to
bid to purchase and develop the site.
LFC will continue to work
closely with Liverpool City Council to keep local residents and businesses
updated on progress throughout the application process and any resultant
development.
