Liverpool’s application to redevelop the Anfield Road stand goes before planners next week (Liverpool FC/PA)The next phase of Liverpool’s ground redevelopment is set to get the go-ahead with a decision due on the planning application for a new Anfield Road stand. Scheduled completion, which will also involve the re-routing of Anfield Road, is for the start of the 2023-24 season and would see the ground’s capacity rise to 61,000. “The proposal seeks permanent permission for the use of the stadium for other team sports throughout the year,” said a planning committee report. “This would allow for other sporting events, such as Gaelic Games or American football, to take place, typically during breaks in the football calendar. “The club has advised that this would be estimated to be only around two to three times per year.”
