The government has asked for more time to review Everton’s proposals for a new stadium, as per the BBC.
The plans to build a new ground at the Bramley-Moore dock were approved by the council last month.
But the project needs final approval from the government and given the scale of the proposal, an extension to the 21-day window has been allowed.
This does not appear to be anything out of the ordinary and is normal because of the size of the £500 million plans.

That hasn’t stopped some Toffees fans on social media worrying, especially as it comes on the back of a bad result against Burnley.
But some others are completely relaxed about the update, because it is par for the course.
