Landmark plans for the future of Goodison Park will “celebrate the legacy” of Everton Football Club.
In two years time, the Toffees are scheduled to move out of their 130-year-old home for a 52,000 seater stadium on the banks of the River Mersey at Bramley Moore Dock. Plans for the demolition of their historic current ground and how the club intends to leave the site were approved by Liverpool Council ’s planning committee this morning.
It is the second time the proposals have been heard, having been submitted last February with plans to construct the new ground at Bramley Moore Dock. Legal agreements agreed as part of the plans have not been completed and due to the time period that has elapsed since the original report was written, the application needed to be reconsidered having regard to any changed circumstances, particularly in relation to national and local planning policy.
