I doubt it. They never say they were wrong. The only way is the House of Lords and Europe.
I also think that Maro should appeal, as they would have a very strong case. It is nowhere near any historical buildings
The nearest large structure is a large gas holder. Look at http://www.saveliverpooldocks.co.uk Go to the Brunswick Quay page. The very bottom pic is a pano. A render of the tower can be seen to the right. The gas holder is to the left, then nothing else around.
The WHS ends at Albert Dock. About half way from the red brick warehouses to the tower is the WHS buffer zone. The tower is clearly well away even from the buffer with no significant buildings around, never mind historic buildings. Unless they think a 1971 gas holder is historic.

and would be the first of a cluster of talls in that area which is good for jobs which are needed in that area. I am going to send an e-mail to Kelly to express my disappointment and I think everyone else should too! (Make sure it isn't abusive or she won't listen!)
Put the detail here. I will put them on the web site:

Points are:
Objections by Kelly were inaccurate as:
1. The original council objection was by one vote only and was clearly party political points scoring as all Labour voted for and all LibDems, except one, voted against.
2. The site is well away from the World Heritage Site.
3. The site is well away from the World Heritage Site buffer zone.
4. No historic buildings around the site for any sight lines to be blocked.
