"We have worked closely with the Liverpool Planning Authority and Historic England to shape the application and ensure the required detail is included to enable our proposals to be appropriately considered," he said.

He said that the site, as a former dock, will mean the work will require making it fit to house a state-of-the-art Premier League stadium.

"We have identified all the heritage assets including cobbles, capstones, mooring posts and former tram lines and how we can incorporate them into our plans as far as possible."

More than 43,000 fans responded to a club consultation exercise, with virtually everyone giving the project the thumbs-up.

Liverpool would be only the third location to lose a World Heritage Site status if Unesco vote next year to strip the city of the cultural badge.
