every picture of all proposed new Everton stadiums and Goodison redevelopments - Everton's search for a new home has been well documented, including in recent years to the King's Dock and to Kirkby, the current path was first aired by Mayor Joe Anderson on 16 May 2016 following failed dialogue between the club and the Council over another potential site at nearby Walton Hall Park, suggesting Everton could have a new ground "within three years".[4] Two locations suggested were for a riverside site at Clarence Dock and a site at 'Stonebridge Cross' on the East Lancashire Road 3 miles north east of Goodison Park.
While no firm plans have yet been revealed or planning permission applied for, on 4 January 2017 the club made known their favoured site of Bramley-Moore Dock ahead of Stonebridge Cross, whilst Mayor Anderson said the council would invest £20m in a new road[6] near the planned ground, alongside plans for a railway station. Everton brought in New York-based MEIS Architects to be involved with the project.
In November 2017 the club agreed a 200-year lease with Peel Holdings for the dock site and early concept designs by the architect were revealed by both Dan Meis and the football club to selected fans and subsequently the wider public through 'workshops' held over a 3-day period from Easter Monday 2 April 2018, in St. Lukes Church, Goodison Road. Despite a close-season of change at the club which included the man chiefly involved in the stadium project, Robert Elstone, moving on to pastures new leaving his role as CEO, little has been heard since April from the club regarding the stadium.
In January 2018 Everton shared their stadium "Key Principles".[14]
