True, and that's obviously a help, but if Liverpool is like the rest of the UK then the planning system for such a big development is likely to be subject to much more scrutiny and will be very transparent.
That's why I'm wondering to what extent, if any Everton have been working with the planners, traffic management people etc about their design so that a lot of potential issues will be addressed before any application is made.
Clarence Dock looks much better in terms of its proximity to the city.
