Hundreds of new bungalows and care units are set to be built on the site of Liverpool's former training ground.
After years of debate the city council have given the green light for the building on Deysbrook Lane to go ahead.
Liverpool sold their Melwood training ground in 2019 after announcing their move to a £50m facility in Kirkby.
The existing infrastructure will be repurposed to form the Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher Football Education Academy.
Not-for-profit trust Torus bought the site for an undisclosed fee.
The senior development manager, Matthew Rushton, said the historic site will be opened to the public for the first time and it will create a "positive legacy" for the "historic site".
