The proposed scheme includes 250 new and 500 refurbished homes, an expansion of the football stadium, a new business hub, a 100-bed hotel, shops, public spaces, a major avenue through Stanley Park and a public square. The Council said it expects the scheme to create up to 700 jobs in the area.
“It is essential that people understand that what we are unveiling today is a range of Anfield-wide regeneration ideas and concepts which we are confident can be delivered but which we genuinely need to hear people’s views on," said Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson in a statement.
“We believe the plans are exciting and will deliver a step-change in quality of life for many thousands of people and be of major benefit to the city not just Anfield. But residents, business people and others may have other opinions and their own brilliant ideas," he said.
“The unveiling of this vision for the wider regeneration of the Anfield area is another important step towards transforming the area for the better," said Liverpool FC managing director Ian Ayre.
“This is also an important milestone as we seek to investigate the feasibility of expanding our stadium. We will continue this work, which is just one part of the wider Anfield vision, however, and there is a great deal of work still to be done to bring those plans to fruition," he said.
The plans will undergo formal public consultation before a range of detailed planning applications will be submitted next year.
