New Everton Stadium

cant see the club announcing ANYTHING untill full approved planning permission is given.

Getting planning permission means putting your plans in the public domain and allowing time for support/objections to be heard from local residents, businesses etc. It also involves the council design committee, planning officers, police, transport officials etc looking at the detail of the plans and suggesting any changes upon which getting permission may be contingent. Lastly, it'll involve some haggling over s106 agreements i.e. how much the developers (i.e. Everton) are willing to put towards things like local infrastructure improvements. This will be done at public planning meetings so the designs will be known long before planning permission is granted.

If Everton are sensible they'll be having talks with the council and other stakeholders behind closed doors to help the scheme go through planning as painlessly as possible which should reduce the time between an announcement and gaining planning permission, but the plans will still have to go through the normal processes.

cant see anything being announced this side of christmas for some reason.. if it is to be built at bramlet moore dock, the planning permission could literally take 2-3 years to be suitably passed. i doubt anything would be announced before having outright planning permission, untill that day arrives its all pie in the sky.

i was kind of hoping moshiri had gotten a 12 month headstart on the process, but it really doesnt look like thats the case.

Outline planning has already been passed for the land. There is a fairly large process to go through though prior to the full application, that will take plenty of time as you say. There is very little chance of the kind of money being spent that will of been spent up to the end of stage 3 without a VERY good idea that the planning will be passed. There aren't many large scale builds that are rejected at that late stage, in the vast majority of cases they are passed with exceptions if something needs to be amended. In my experience.

agreed, its just i thought we would be alot further down the line than we seem to be

The land purchase was agreed with caveats in mid August, everything else has been leading on from that date.

So how long is reasonable to expect an announcement on the timescale from start to finish?

Put it this way, Forest Green submitted their stadium plans in January, they were approved about a week ago.

Yes, but probably took longer as it's to be made of wood!

I'd have thought that it being eco would've been a big plus point, and help to drive through the application.

It's getting to the point that I'd be overjoyed just knowing the date of the AGM, easily pleased me like..........

The ground will be half built before they announce anything...

I seem to remember that the government vetoed the plans for the previous stadium at Kirkby. If that is correct, would they get a say in a stadium at Bramley Moore?

The Kirkby plans got called in due to the size of the attached commercial development (tesco's) that may have had an effect on the actual town. At this stage we are hopeful that the fish don't lodge an objection, but knowing our luck...

Planning applications can get 'called in' by the Secretary of State under certain circumstances usually where the decision has a greater than local impact, or where special groups, interested parties and residents apply. Effectively the decision is then taken away from the local authority.

It's difficult to see why a stadium at BM would be called in given its location and positive regeneration effect.
