What's Happening In Your Area?

The Stanley Park Zone is made up of one major renewal area - Anfield and Breckfield and is characterised by a large amount of terraced properties built before 1919, high number of empty properties, low demand and high occurrence of crime. A significant opportunity exists to restructure the housing market imbalance.

Why has my area been chosen for development?

Anfield and Breckfield is one of the City's biggest Renewal Areas, covering 4,960 properties, and has the largest clearance programme within the NewHeartlands area.

What is happening?

The programme in Anfield and Breckfield includes the demolition of approximately 1,800 residential and commercial properties. Approximately 1,300 properties will be built by Keepmoat, the lead developer, on the cleared sites, along with further new build developments proposed in nearby locations.

These development schemes will provide the current community and people looking to move into the area with modern homes with gardens and parking facilities, which are not available with the current terraces.

There are also plans for retail, business and community facilities, along with new areas of public space.

Plans for the Renewal Area also include a refurbishment programme in the sustainable neighbourhoods to improve both the environment and the front elevations of houses and this has been ongoing since 2004. This is complimented by Arena Housing, the lead RSL, investing in their-own stock.

How long will all this take?

The re-development of Anfield and Breckfield is expected to be a 15 year process.
