This incredible video drone footage shows the size and scale of the redevelopment taking place around Liverpool FC's Anfield stadium.

The £260m Project Anfield scheme, which will revitalise North Liverpool and has already led to a waiting list of homeowners and businesses wanting to move into the area for the first time in a generation , has seen the demolition of an entire row of derelict houses on Lothair Road with work also underway on Baltic Street, Bagnall Street and parts of Gilman Street and Pulford Street.

Work to continue the demolition will continue over coming months as the partners behind the regeneration – LFC, Liverpool City Council and Your Housing Group – bring forward plans for a new hotel, an office building and new commercial space for existing and new businesses of all kinds.

In the meantime, hundreds of new homes are being built as part of The Parks development.

Coun Ann O’Byrne, the city council’s cabinet member responsible for housing, said: “It’s brilliant to see existing homes being refurbished and quality new homes being built. The new Anfield is starting to emerge and we’re working hard to ensure that local people can benefit from the job and other opportunities that this is bringing.

“The demolition work is needed to ensure we can accelerate our plans for the proposed 96 Avenue which will link the High Street and the Park and for the other very exciting developments which will breathe new life into the area.”

The stadium expansion remains subject to planning permission, but if everything goes to plan Anfield’s capacity could be increased to around 58,800 in time for the 2016-2017 season.
