Everton CEO, Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, sent the following email to Everton fans at 5pm (GMT) today to provide an update on the Bramley-Moore Dock project and the planning application progress for Everton's proposed new stadium.
Dear Evertonian,
I am writing to provide you with an important update on our plans to deliver a new home for Everton at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Today (Monday, 15 February) we received confirmation that the Liverpool City Council hearing to decide on our planning application for the stadium - and our plans for a legacy project on the site of Goodison Park - will take place next week (Tuesday, 23 February).
The report by the City Council’s Planning Officer, which will be reviewed at the meeting next week, has also been published today.
I am pleased to let you know that the Planning Officer, following a very thorough review of our application, is recommending that the Committee approves our plans.
Our Stadium Director Colin Chong and I will be presenting the Club’s case at the meeting next week to underline how important this stadium is - not only to our football club but also to our city, our region and our country at such an unprecedented time in our history.
If the Planning Committee agree with the recommendations of the report at the meeting next week, then the next step will be for the application to be referred to the Secretary of State - a standard procedure for an application of such scale.
So, as we enter what is a crucial stage in our new stadium project, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support and patience on this journey so far.
As always, I will ensure that you are kept informed with all the relevant updates over the coming weeks – and I know you will be thinking of us and wishing us well at our important meeting with the Council next week.
