The revised stadium plan announced yesterday by Liverpool FC will require new planning applications, it was confirmed last night.
The club already has permission for HKS’s original 60,000-seater ground on Stanley Park, which was granted in November 2007.
That original stadium design envisaged 60,000 seats, with the option to later expand to 76,000 at a later date.
In January the Government decided not to “call in” those designs for further scrutiny.
However, because of changes to the stadium design – moving the underground car park, shrinking the concourses, and capacity rising to 71,000 – new permissions are needed.
It is understood the club will at first submit a variation to the existing permission, which could allow the work to start on the project within three months.
It would then submit a new application to get consent for the 71,000 seats, requiring an environmental impact study and transport plan.
