Hotel plan for listed mill site near Everton stadium

The area around Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is being revitalised

A new five-storey hotel on the site of a Grade II-listed mill building could be built as part of plans to regenerate the area around Everton’s new stadium.

The building, which was constructed in around 1850, is at Bramley-Moore Dock in Liverpool, close to the football club's new 52,888-seat ground.

Developers have lodged plans for the hotel featuring 32 bedrooms in the mill conservation, with another 48 bedrooms to form part of a new build.

The plans are set to go before Liverpool City Council's planning committee next week.

The proposals have been recommended for approval amid a series of changes around the site to accommodate the new ground, scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.

A planning document said: “The proposal would bring a listed building back into a long-term viable use and secure its future."

Everton, who have endured another challenging start to the Premier League season, are set to move into the new stadium for the beginning of the 2025-26 schedule.
