New Everton Stadium Discussion

[Tim UpperBullen]

If I remember rightly, it would add max 10,000 seats, most likely in 2k increments. So the stadium would go 52k > 54k >>> 62k.

We have a section for standing in lower south, and the north ( away) stands.ot seems a lot to add an extra 10k but if so that would be great

I know LCC will be busy with all this going on - but I imagine if the RS had submitted BMD planning permission this would have been granted by now.

Nearly June and not even in discussion WTH

not at all

 

[nsno-chris]

Nope. Likely to hold up planning will be Heritage England. The site as we know is grade listed, so it all depends on the results of condition surveys etc and whether items of interest can or should be retained / removed / reused and whether the procedure is deemed acceptable. Then there's the council, who probably like a bunch of other places at the minute will have reduced / restricted resource to cope with the paperwork that lands at their feet. But planning doesnt need to be submitted until end of July / August.

no it’s not

the dock wall and pump house are the only protected areas on the site

Mad when you think of the benefits that this will bring to the local economy especially with the effects of COVID-19 I thought they would be looking to get it authorised as quickly as possible and get work moving.

there’s a process, a legal one; thought your source could have told you that

Either way estimates said that it would be announced around end of Spring but it doesnt even look like they have started the process yet as we approach June 6 months since PP went in.

What makes you think they haven't even started the process?

really, please elaborate on how you know this?

Dont know mate - just sure I had read that any updates on the application gets updated on the portal for the general public to scour over.

Just doesnt seem to be any noise or even potential opposition voices to it.

Covid must affect the council somehow.

Glad somebody is talking sense with a bit of an idea of the process that the application needs to go through to avoid lengthy and costly legal challenges

When we put the application in it was said we were expecting a decision within 16 weeks, which would’ve been April 13th, only 3 weeks after the nationwide lockdown.

Thats whats baffled me - I get the virus will have slowed things right down but all the talk was a decision by end of spring but its very quiet.

I wonder if the club could do something to push them a bit? Isn't there a way for organisations to do that if PP goes beyond a certain period?

Might be a bit politically uncorrect with this going on but im tired of Everton being the nice guys all the time- the longer it takes the longer it slows the clubs progression down and thus losing us potential increased revenue.

I’m sure someone put in here that if a decision was not made by June 3rd the council would have to give a reason why.

Think it was one of the Spurs fans posted it.
