Part of the proposed redevelopment would result in the memorial to the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 being moved into the rebuilt main stand.

After a consultation process, the club expects to submit a planning application to the city council this summer.

Local residents raised concerns about any expansion in 2012 because it would involve the demolition of some houses near the ground.
