Hotly contested plans for the redevelopment of Liverpool FC’s historic former training ground will be considered next week.
Almost three years after the club left for a new £50m training centre in Kirkby, Liverpool Council will decide if a radical redesign of the Reds’ famed former base in West Derby is suitable. Plans have been submitted by housing group, Torus, for a mixture of 170 homes, bungalows and care units.
The existing LFC infrastructure at the Deysbrook Lane site will be retained and repurposed to form the new home of the Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher Football Education Academy. The future of the site has been debated for years, with outline planning permission granted back in 2017.
