Everton football club has named 23 December as the day when it will submit plans for its new stadium on Liverpool’s waterfront.

In a blog post published last week Colin Chong, Everton’s stadium development director, confirmed that a detailed planning application for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock would be submitted on the Monday after next.

The stadium plans will be followed by a separate outline planning application that will spell out details of more than 200 homes to be built at the club’s old ground, Goodison Park.

The club hopes both applications will be decided by Liverpool city council at the same time.

Everton said it would release the latest images of the new ground on the day it submits its plans to the council.

The club wants to build up to 48 houses and 160 apartments at Goodison Park, as well as offices, shops, healthcare and education facilities and additional homes for supported living.

Apartments would be built in towers of up to nine storeys.

The planned 52,000-seat stadium would Group form part of Peel Group’s £5.5bn plans to regenerate the city’s waterfront with the Liverpool Waters scheme.
