Everton Stadium plans receive government approval
Everton Football Club’s plans to develop a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in the north of Liverpool can proceed after the Government chose not to call-in the planning application.
The Government review, standard practice for a development of the size and scale of Everton’s stadium plans, was conducted after Liverpool City Council’s Planning Committee had unanimously approved the plans on February 23.
The Club received written confirmation of the Secretary of State’s decision not to intervene to call-in the application.
The decision to approve a new 52,888- capacity waterfront arena allows the club to complete its agreed acquisition of the site from Peel L&P and the funding solution for the project, ensuring the club can begin to make the plans a reality.
It is estimated that the stadium development and plans for a Goodison Legacy will deliver a £1.3bn boost to the economy, create more than 15,000 jobs and attract 1.4m new visitors to the city.
Amex upgrades on track
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club has been given the go ahead to expand the capacity of its American Express Community Stadium to 32,500.
Some of the work on the Amex Stadium has already been completed, while other upgrades will be phased over the short to medium term. These include an extra stairway leading from the external concourse to the coach park and a new gatehouse on Village Way.
The stadium’s current capacity is 30,750, with expansion designs undertaken by KSS Design Group. The architecture and design firm has been working with Brighton & Hove Albion FC
A club statement on the Everton website following the decision read: “On such a momentous day, the football club would like to thank every Evertonian, along with the many organisations, the tens of thousands of people across the city region and the team of dedicated staff who have played a vital role in ensuring the Club reached today's milestone.”
Everton has been advised by CBRE UK’s Planning & Development team and worked closely with the Liverpool Planning Authority, Historic England and other stakeholders as part of the planning process.
Everton Football Club will be sharing insights on The People’s Project during ALSD International taking place in Liverpool, September 6-7, with attendees to take a technical tour of Goodison Park.
