Proposals to knock down Everton's Goodison Park and how the Premier League club's historic home will look once they move to Bramley Moore Dock are to be debated next month.

Liverpool Council's planning committee will vote for a second time in May with the Toffees on track to leave the ground in time for the start of the 2024/25 season.

Their new 52,000 stadium on the banks of the River Mersey is currently under construction.

A report to Liverpool Council's planning committee has detailed how the club plans, referred to as the Goodison Park Legacy Project, will transform the 3.39-hectare site into a mixed-use development, including housing, commercial space, community/retail uses and open space.

The application is going before the committee for a second time having been submitted last February with plans to construct the new ground at Bramley Moore, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.

Legal agreements agreed as part of the application have not been completed and due to the time period that has elapsed since the original report was written, the application needs to be reconsidered having regard to any changed circumstances, particularly in relation to national and local planning policy.

The scheme, if approved again, could go on to home 173 residential properties of affordable value, a care home, office space and flexible space for a mix of retail, financial and professional services, as well as restaurants and cafes, drinking establishments and hot food takeaways.
