Nelson Dock

That's the latest masterplan I believe, Peel re-submitted it last year.

Although this is ultimately Peel's outline vision for the site, I fully expect we would propose something similar in terms of a mix of residential/ commercial/ leisure but with less of an emphasis on residential. I very much doubt we'd be looking to completely fill the dock in, not only would LCC resist it (along with other stakeholders and possibly Peel) but it doesn't make much sense. That being said, we may do some partial building out onto the water like below.

I know this is probably a bit of a pipe dream but if they build some sort of water market on the dock that would be incredible. Places to eat, drink etc. There’d be a lot of inebriated blues getting fished out the dock on a match day

Would be a shame if the water went, as it seems an important design element reflecting in the South stand windows.

Hoping it will be surrounding it, restaurants, cafes, sports bars, etc?

If they fill Nelson Dock in it would largely negate one of the major attractions for moving there. Might as well have gone to Stonebridge Lane if they do that.

I cant believe anything above the height of the view from the South Stand will be built.

I mean that South Stand concourse looking back toward the city skyline has been a marketing feature for the stadium. You dont obliterate that for hotels or an accompanying smaller sports arena on the Nelson Dock.

It might not be important for people sitting in Texas who'll never go there, but I'm sure someone like Chong will be stressing that you dont buy a view of an iconic waterfront with the city of Liverpool rolling out before you to squeeze a few quid out of hotel guests.

They could always just rotate the stadium 90 degrees so it's looking over the Mersey instead and voila problem gone.
 
I personally think it will be a destination creation. Somewhere to remain after the match/event. Bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels. The city centre has been creeping North for a while now, and this will drag it more so.

Like a few have said, the view back across the city is an important one for the stadium and there is only one way to control that.

Added in the fact we spent £100m to fill BMD, how would it even be viable?
 
Its happening...

It would be, but maybe any development could have a glass facade and add to what's now there rather than detract from it?

We can't have some monolith going up and I'd be amazed if they would want that or even consider it.
