UNESCO has approve the first planning draft - high rise and all. Some footy loonies are wanting and stadium there - now that may lose the WHS status.
The world-class Brunswick Quay Towers was not near a WHS but the city turned that down, yet may approve high rises right on a WHS. Only in Liverpool!!!

The Central Docks are to reflect the city's heritage. The heritage is maritime. I have seen nothing from Peel that reflects that.
Look at this pic. To the left on the quays of Princes Dock is multi-floor car park - great use of our waterspaces isn't it. An IKEA shed-like arena is put on Kings Dock. That is what they have done and expect the same. Not encouraging is it. Expect the WHS status to be revoked.
