New Everton Stadium

I think it was always going to be a bit of stretch to get planning permission this year. The latest consultation only finished on the 22nd of October. The latest amendment to planning was quite extensive and further tweaks may well be required depending on how the consultation went.

Even if the application does get looked at this year it was always likely to need a special planning meeting being arranged given the size of the project. It will be much better to get as detail in to the amendment to give us the best chance of getting through planning.
 

They’ll make us jump through all sorts of hoops for another month, then bottle it and refer it to Secretary of State for a decision. Nailed on.

What pee's me off is financially it will help the city massively but the council seen more arsed dealing with crap like zip wires in the city.

FFS this is gonna create thousands of jobs and redevelop a barren area of the city in decline - as I say if the glory hunters were doing this they would be falling over themselves to grant it.

Wouldn't be shocked whatsoever to find out those involved in the planning committee of the council are largely RS happy to delay it as long as possible.

Either that or they are massively incompetent.

At times I think that some on LCC don't want to make a determination & want it to be called in and rejected by Jenrick.

Can EFC lodge a complaint or ask the Government to take it out their hands?

I would rather the government sort it as atleast they'll be on time LCC are an absolute joke be minimum 13 months since planning permission was applied for - for a project universally wanted apart from some cranks in heritage England.

And we wonder why the city has fallen behind likes of Manchester.

Best post in the last two pages. ;)

It looked like the council were dragging their feet around July/August, but we now know the club decided to work on some (not small) amendments which were only submitted a couple of months ago. A few weeks of new consultation followed, and they'll need a bit of time to take all that on board too.

And on top of all that we know the club have submitted a separate application for remedial works. Things are moving. It's not like nothing has happened since last December. The delay is because of the club making changes to make the scheme better, not just the council being slow. And then you throw covid in as well. Things are going ok imo, and I'll still say that even if it gets called in.
