Everton have been given the all-clear to build their new stadium at Bramley-Moore after the club’s planning application received government approval.
The Toffees have now taken a significant step towards leaving Goodison Park, as they aim to begin the project of developing a 52,888 capacity ground on the waterfront site at a cost of £500million.
The club will target to start building their new home this summer, with a view to hopefully moving in ahead of the 2024-25 season.
