Liverpool City Council’s planning committee has given the green light to plans for Everton Football Club’s new stadium.
Councillors unanimously approved the application to build a 52,888-seater stadium at Bramley Moore-Dock at a meeting this morning. Laing O’Rourke was named as a contractor on the £505m project last year.
The £82.5m redevelopment of Everton’s current home, Goodison Park, for a mixed-use project including residential, commercial and community facilities, was also approved by the committee.
