Liverpool FC submits training ground planning application
BY Matthew Campelli
Premier League football club Liverpool FC has submitted planning permission to redevelop its first-team training ground at Melwood.
If the proposal is accepted by Liverpool City Council, the £50m (US$64.3m, €56.5m) plan will see the club’s first-team and academy football training facilities brought together in Kirkby.
That would free up the Melwood site for the development of 160 family homes.
Should the club gain planning consent, housing developers will be invited to bid to purchase the land to develop the site.
The planning application is expected to be determined by the council’s Planning Committee later this year.
