The correspondence in the category `Consultations` look like the objections from the bodies in the Planning Application....
 
In the North-South config it is too tight to lower the pitch much, but in the original East-west one it would be ideal with the lower tier sitting in a cofferdamed space to protect against flooding. Which when there was some onus on planning height restrictions and construction costs might have been a good opportunity.

As regards roads accessing an underground carpark if there was to be one, these could be ramped down one level quite easily without needing to raise pitch level or damage the quayside at all.

The original multistorey car park probably disappeared on cost grounds tbh, and its omission was a post Meis ammendment I think, and not that dissimilar an elevation to the revised version (without the steps). Having spent a lot of time on our waterfront, and many others besides, I think it could've offered some much needed shelter at the exposed end of the site. The view on a warm day might have been ok (not sure the wirral waterfront is that exciting tbh), but how many of those are there for most of the football season?

That's fair. I know it can get wild down there from using the river side entrance to the Echo Arena. Although, if we were going to build something for cover, I'd hope it would be something more imaginative/attractive than a car park. Surely the idea of having a prominent prime location is aesthetics. The idea of the view of and from the stadium being blocked by a multistory car park Just seems daft. I know there was talk of an Everton museum at some point. Surely something like that, a new club shop, or better still, combing the 2, would be a better option. I imagine something with design features to reference the new stadium but with a nod to our history. If there was a restaurant installed, it could be used all the year through.
