Liverpool won planning permission from the city’s council to start redeveloping Anfield yesterday.
It emerged last week that the club’s proposals to expand their stadium had been recommended for approval by Liverpool council planners.
A vote was taken on the scheme on Tuesday after elected members of the planning committee visited Anfield, with the Reds being given the green light to proceed with phase one of the project — the extension of the Main Stand.
In phase two, the Anfield Road stand would be increased, with the project as a whole taking the capacity from around 45,000 to around 58,800.
The resolution from members of Liverpool City Council’s planning committee to grant planning permission, subject to conditions and legal agreement, was unanimous.
