Hundreds of homes will no longer be built in West Derby after Liverpool FC bought back its historic former training ground.
It was confirmed on Thursday how the Reds had completed a multi-million pound deal to reclaim the iconic Melwood site to provide a training facility for its women’s team. Last December, planning permission was granted to housing group Torus for the construction of 170 properties on the site.
The company has now confirmed the sale of the location back to Liverpool FC has ended its participation in the area and the development it received the go-ahead for would no longer take place.
