I don't think the lock is being used to build on, only the river wall next to it. Brunswick Quay tower was not on the lock. I have not seen the plans for the three stumpy blocks. Maro, the tower people, a part of Matalan so local, wanted to excavate apart of Toxteth Dock. Toxteth and Harrington should be excavated and the industry moved out. You may find the development will be over the in-filled Toxteth Dock. which will not add value at all.

The depth of the marina is around 24ft i think its the lock where the problem exists as the sill is around 4 ft off the river bed and you need to have atleast a 6 and a half foot clearence over the sill to be allowed to enter the lock
The lock cannot take any large vessel at all, so the depth is not used. Ships can't even sail from the Canning river locks to the Brunswick, as permanent bridges block the passageways from dock to dock - a real silly idea. British Waterways and the council have no idea at all.
