It was originally the home of Everton from 1884 to 1891, before they moved to Goodison Park after a dispute with the club president. “It is all aspects of consultation with the local community, residents, local businesses and community groups. Outline planning permission for that project is due to expire next month.“We are committed to working with local residents, planning officials and others as we now focus on the detail behind any proposed redevelopment for Anfield Road. Without any of those in place a build will not go ahead.”The designs, part of a public consultation exercise launched on Friday, are for a new 16,000-seat stand that will increase the stadium’s capacity by 7,000. They require funding. Throughout this process we have been clear that our objective is to find the best possible solution for Anfield Road and that remains the case.”The 26-year-old, who made just two appearances last season after being sidelined with a serious knee injury, has agreed a deal which will take him up to 2023. We have always been looking at a long term development plan for Anfield and we have been looking specifically at Anfield Road as the next step post-Main stand.“We have deliberately phased these investments as they are big projects in their own right. 'The two proposals - if approved next week - will mean that Anfield could play host to other sporting events - including high profile boxing and American Football matches - as well as up to 10 music concerts each year. Work on Liverpool FC’s new flagship Anfield Stadium store will start next week, with contractors arriving on site to begin construction on the two-storey development.

As with the £114m Main stand, the new Anfield Road stand would be constructed behind the existing structure before being joined together to minimise disruption to match days. That is looking to complete this summer so the timing to move on to design, planning and initiation of the Anfield Road development is right now.”“There are three hurdles and they are all really important,” Hughes said.
