LFC to submit planning application for proposed Anfield Road stand redevelopment

Liverpool Football Club will this week submit a planning application to Liverpool City Council for the proposed expansion of the Anfield Road stand.

The submission of the planning application was paused in spring this year due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

The plans would see the capacity of the Anfield Road stand increase by around 7,000 seats, taking the stadium’s overall capacity to more than 61,000.

As part of the application, the club is also seeking permanent permission to hold concerts and major events at the stadium.

The plans for the Anfield Road stand have been the subject of two stages of public consultation with local residents, business, fans and stakeholders.
