Last chance for Liverpool FC stadium opponents to block plan
Nov 2 2007
by Larry Neild, Liverpool Daily Post
THE revised planning application for Liverpool FC’s new £400m stadium, on Stanley Park, will give opponents one last chance to wage their battle against the scheme.
The club already has consent to go ahead with its original proposals, with that permission valid until 2011.
But new owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett decided on an all-new design which will be given its first public airing at a special meeting on Tuesday on the city council’s planning committee.
Planning managers are recom- mending the go-ahead be given to the scheme, with backing from a number of major organisations.
The club, though, will have to fight its way through a long list of people and local groups who want the scheme to be rejected.
Cabe, the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, has applauded the iconic plans and describes the proposed new Kop as a powerful idea. But Cabe wants to see a more elegant transition between the new stadium at historic Stanley Park.
The government’s Environment Agency has not opposed the scheme and Sport England also supports the stadium plan. The Northwest Regional Development Agency has also sent in a message of support.
Friends of Stanley Park have submitted a lengthy objection to the scheme, mainly on the grounds that a new football stadium in the Victorian park clashes with the city’s own planning blueprint which designates the area as parkland.
The friends say a 21st-century stadium inside a 19th-century Grade II-listed park is not an enhancement of the park.
Another objection has been lodged by Priory Area Residents Association who say the park acts as the green space for the densely populated area of narrow terraced streets.
“To deprive the young and old of access to this open space is in complete opposition to current policies where people are being encouraged to take more exercise,” say the friends.
“Normal life in Anfield comes to a complete standstill when there is a football match and the increased number of spectators (from the current 45,000 to 60,000) will generate more traffic on roads which can barely cope at present,” the group adds.
Members of the planning committee will spend several hours touring the Anfield area on Tuesday, prior to heading to a meeting just before midday on Tuesday at the Oakmere Conference Centre, in Cherry Lane, Anfield, where the two sides in the battle for Stanley Park will fight their corners.

The planning officers are recommending that the application is granted. As the meeting is tomorrow, today is the last day that anyone can submit comments.

All this stuff is publicly available on the council website, so I can't see why there's been any confusion in the press.Comment

I've just noticed that one of the conditions they are recommending is that we allow the blue****e to park on site when we are not playing. Seems a bit strange - if they park there on a matchday it's a long walk to KirkbyOriginally posted by calvoboy View Post

"Sky and Setanta have the right to choose their games and it will be the same for everyone. So Mr Ferguson will not be complaining about fixtures and a campaign against United.
"Or there is another option. That Mr Ferguson organises the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and cannot complain. That is simple."

Government minister has final say on Liverpool FC’s £400m stadium plan
Nov 6 2007
by Larry Neild, Liverpool Daily Post
GOVERNMENT minister Hazel Blears will have the final say on Liverpool FC’s £400m stadium plan, even if local politicians today give the go-ahead.
City council planning managers are recommending approval of the ambitious plan for a 60,000 seat stadium on Stanley Park, with work hopefully starting in March.
The club already has permission for a new ground, but a new planning application has been drawn up following the take-over of the club by American business giants George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
When the original plan was debated more than two years ago, the planning committee gave its approval, and it was then forwarded to Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott for the final go-ahead.
Mr Prescott had the option to call in the plans for a full assessment by the Government, or to call a public inquiry to decide the issue. In the event, he decided not to even call in the plans, leaving the local decision by the planning committee as the deciding factor.
As well as the club undergoing a change of ownership since that decision, the changes in government have also seen a major cabinet reshuffle. The decision will now be in the hands of Mrs Blears, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
If, as is hoped, history repeats itself and there is no government call in, it will pave the way for work to start in the spring.
The fact the scheme has the full support of the Northwest Regional Development Agency and English Partnerships could make the passage through the system easier.
The previous planning consent is valid until 2011, and club officials are hopeful that, as the size of the stadium is the same – a 60,000-seat capacity – there will be no planning hiccup. Liverpool FC’s decision day will start shortly before 10am when Cllr Dave Irving, chairman of the planning committee, and his committee members arrive at 10am to tour Stanley Park and the surrounding streets.
Objectors will be able to speak at the formal meeting which will start at 11.45am at the earliest at the Oakmere Conference Centre in Cherry Lane, Anfield.
# DETAILS of the Planning Committee’s decision will be given on our website, www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk as soon as it is reached.
Larry Neild assesses Liverpool’s plans for Stanley Park
WHEN Americans think, they think big. So it was only to be expected that George Gillett and his business partner, Tom Hicks, would never settle for any ordinary stadium for their newly- acquired soccer team, Liverpool FC.
Their plans, drawn up in conjunction with US based planners, will provide Liverpool with a stadium that will take the breath away.
It will become one of the most photographed structures in Liverpool, a world-famous citadel of sport and leisure.
The existing Anfield ground started life when Queen Victoria was on the thrown, and horse manure on the streets was a far bigger problem than chewing gum.
Flat-capped fans, all looking the same whether they were 10 or 90, marched like matchstick men to the ground to pay Saturday afternoon homage to their heroes on the park.
The existing ground, surrounded as it is by hundreds of terraced homes, does not meet the needs of a 21st century football team, followed by fans in every continent.
Nostalgic it might be, but the old Anfield is showing signs of age. What is on offer today is the chance to propel Liverpool FC on a journey into the future, taking the Anfield community with it.
The add-on - massive improvements to Stanley Park, the creation of Anfield Plaza around the existing ground, will transform a run-down area of the city into an international tourist destination.
Everyone will be a winner if the scheme goes ahead.Betfair refer and earn code: CCUPPKJHFComment
