Historic England, a government agency opposed to Everton's plans to build a new 52,888-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, has been slammed for objecting to the club's proposals.
The Premier League club submitted an amendment to the planning application for their stunning new stadium last week with hope that its construction can begin early next year.
But Historic England, the Victorian Society and ICOMOS are fiercely against the site being used for the stadium because they want to preserve the Grade II listed Bramley-Moore Dock and prevent it from being filled in.
