It was.
Everton's Bramley Moore Dock plan is now well underway

“The programme for the stadium, with a capacity for 50,000 spectators, includes stands for 17,000 local fans (Home End), 4,000 premium seats, 4,000 seats for parents and children in the family zone near the pitch, a vibrant Fan Zone and the club’s community action body offices: Everton–in-the-Community as a built-in part of the maximum level services offered at the stadium.”
The IDOM design was only ever a proposal and can never now come to fruition as the club is now planning a waterfront home.
Everton FC had worked with Liverpool council on plans to build a stadium, alongside a shopping and housing development, at Walton Hall Park.
But the plans came up against strong opposition from local campaigners and opposition politicians.
And in May last year the club and council abandoned the “ambitious” plans, with mayor Joe Anderson saying Walton Hall Park will “remain a park and will be designated as such”.
