PUBLIC consultation starts this week about the proposed framework for new developments and conservation in Liverpool’s World Heritage Site.
The proposed Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for Liverpool – Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site addresses planning and conservation issues currently being faced by the site.
It aims to “provide a framework for protecting and enhancing the outstanding universal value of Liverpool – Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site, while encouraging investment and development which secures a healthy economy and supports regeneration.”
One of the main aspects is to generally only allow tall buildings in two clusters.
The first, and larger, cluster for tall buildings is in the commercial quarter centred on Old Hall St, Tithebarn St, and Pall Mall.
The second, smaller cluster is based around Parliament Street and Chaloner Street.
Consultation runs until April 14.
