Plans for a new stadium for Everton FC that would regenerate two areas in Liverpool have been put forward for public consultation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The club want to build a new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock, overlooking the River Mersey to the north of the city centre,<\/a> while their current home of Goodison Park would be redeveloped into homes, healthcare, educational and other community-oriented facilities.<\/p>\n

The Toffees have been based at Goodison since 1892, having previously played at Anfield, home to neighbours and fierce rivals Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Carragher backs project<\/h4>\n

But the plans for the move have won approval from a many local figures including Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, a boyhood Everton fan who subsequently played over 500 times for the five-time European champions across Stanley Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stadium will be a huge project,\u201d Carragher told evertontv. \u201cBut the regeneration is a massive thing for Liverpool, not just Everton Football Club. There is a massive rivalry between red and blue in this city. Long may that continue, and I probably epitomise that more than anybody, being a Blue as a kid and playing for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is massive for the city\u2019s future. Two vibrant football clubs with huge stadiums can attract investment, [there will be] businesses popping up around there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

‘A stadium like no other’<\/h4>\n

Exact plans for the stadium will not be revealed until a second round of consultation, slated for summer 2019. However, Everton are working with architect Dan Meis on designs for state-of-the-art stadium that he says, \u201c\u2026would be unlike any other on the planet.\u201d The club has completed a lease agreement with Peel L&P to take a 200-year lease on the Bramley-Moore Dock should they be granted planning permission.<\/p>\n

The new stadium would be built near to the Liverpool Waters development<\/a> currently under construction around Princes Dock, Central Docks, Clarence Docks, Northern Docks and King Edward Triangle.<\/p>\n

This project will see 9,000 new residential apartments plus retail and leisure facilities constructed, while a new cruise liner and Isle of Man ferry terminal<\/a> will be built nearby.<\/p>\n
