Knowsley council last night gave planning permission for Tesco and Everton FC's new stadium and retail centre in Kirkby.
The controversial £400m scheme includes a new supermarket, 50,000-seat stadium, 592,000 sq ft of additional retail, a hotel, offices and public realm works.
Knowsley's planning committee voted 20-to-1 in favour of the development.
The club and retail giant must wait another three weeks to hear if the decision will be called in for a public inquiry.
