Liverpool Football Club welcomed today's decision by the Liverpool City Council Planning Committee to unanimously approve the revised design of the new stadium in Stanley Park, Anfield. 
The overall approval includes full planning permission for a new 60,000-seat stadium including the Community Partnership Centre, club shop and museum, conference and banqueting facilities and a car park for 970 vehicles as well as outline planning permission for Anfield Plaza on the site of the existing stadium. There have been no changes to the Anfield Plaza plans as they are subject to a further planning application in the future.
 
The key changes meet the design objectives of providing a high quality stadium, but the revisions make a more efficient use of space. The stadium footprint is 25% smaller than the previously approved design and therefore there is an additional .36 hectare/.89 acre of open space around the stadium.
 
The Multi-Use Games areas and tennis courts associated with the Community Partnership Centre are now on a deck over part of the car park on the North side of the stadium with a living wall of plants facing Priory Rd. reducing the amount of excavation.
 
Restoration of Stanley Park and the Isla Gladstone Conservatory are now well underway and are scheduled for completion this winter.
 
The Club is committed to take the stadium project forward and start on site as soon as possible and aim for an opening for the 2011/2012 season.

Like the look of the new stadium, If it comes of it will be agitate place for the best team in the world to play in, my only concern is with only 60 Million for the refinance package is being made available to start the building work, where is the rest of the money coming from to build it?

Don't worry.  It will never be finished.

they are lovely pictures. sadly thats all they will remain until Hicks agrees to sell up.

Ill beleive it when im sat in it

Thank god this isnt going to be built with the owners being broke and all.

Built down to a price, scaled down, 1 and a half tier kop ()..

i gotta say tho kop looks nice n steep, like the san siro n thats ment to have a gr8 atmospehre, not i been of course

They aren't Exec boxes on the Kop by the way, it's disabled seating.

Because the pitch is below ground level, the seating has to be a bit higher than the pitch - and that's where it is!
