Everton reveal final new stadium designs

Everton have revealed final designs for their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Planning application is set to be handed to Liverpool City Council on Monday for the 52,000-seater arena in the north Liverpool docks.

A separate proposal for the existing Goodison Park site, which will become a community-led legacy project, is also due for submission this week.

The Blues’ new home will form part of Peel’s Liverpool Waters development and forecast to add £1 billion to the local economy and creating 15,000 jobs.

Feedback from public consultations have seen original designs for Bramley-Moore produced by architect Dan Meis in the summer tweaked slightly.

A multi-storey car park is set to be incorporated into the stadium’s blueprint with additional environmental measures also incorporated in the final proposals.

Extensive public spaces for use on both match days and non-match days sees a Fan Plaza featured to the east side of the stadium.

Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Everton’s chief executive, said: “This is a huge milestone in the club’s history but also a profound statement of intent for our future.

“The stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will deliver the best possible matchday experience for our fans, new facilities for cultural events and a building that will be a stunning new addition to Liverpool’s built environment.

“Our proposals are a commitment to a long and exciting future for the club in North Liverpool, and also for our award-winning charity, Everton in the Community, to continue to make a life-changing difference in Liverpool 4.

“From its inception, we’ve always believed that this project can be a game-changer for North Liverpool.

“The vast amount of feedback and overwhelming support we received through our consultation has shown that the people of Liverpool understand that The People’s Project isn’t just about a new football ground – it’s about regeneration, jobs and social value.

“If we are granted planning approval, this will be a world class football stadium in a world class location and a catalyst for Liverpool City Region’s ongoing growth and success.”

Colin Chong, the club’s Stadium Development Director, added: “This project has been designed from the ground up with the site’s heritage in mind – getting this right has always been our priority.

“We have invested an enormous amount of resource and effort in creating a design that not only respects and looks at home in a dockland setting but will also restore and preserve the historic features of Bramley-Moore Dock and, importantly, open a currently inaccessible site to the public.

“We have worked closely with Liverpool City Council and heritage organisations as the plans have evolved and our final proposals include a significant amount of environmental remediation work, along with measures to restore and preserve key aspects of the dock.

“We are immensely proud to submit our proposals for what I believe is one of the most exciting development projects in world football.”
