The application, which was approved today by Liverpool City Council's planning committee, provides consent for up to 160 new family homes with open space and landscaping. Plans also include vehicle access from Melwood Drive and Deysbrook Lane, in addition to cycle and pedestrian access from Crown Road.
As part of the planning a process, the club held a pre-planning consultation with just under 3,000 local residents and business in the area requesting feedback on the proposals. LFC also held a community drop–in session at West Derby Golf Club earlier this year, providing further information on the proposed scheme.
