Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Consultation Draft March - 2009 Foreword Foreword by Peter Millea, Executive Member for Regeneration and John Kelly, Executive Director Regeneration This draft Supplementary Planning Document for the World Heritage Site is issued for public consultation by Liverpool City Council. Its purpose is to provide a framework for development which will enhance the city’s heritage and boost investment, tourism and regeneration. Above all, it is intended as a policy document which will encourage economic regeneration with an emphasis on quality. It is part of an emerging statutory development framework for the city which will outline more specific guidance on land allocations to prioritise target areas for economic growth, including within the World Heritage Site and areas bordering on it. Whilst the SPD includes important principles about World Heritage Site management in the longer term, with the emphasis on preserving and enhancing quality of public realm, it is being issued at a time when the global and UK economy is contracting. The city’s continuing economic regeneration is the Council’s main priority and is essential if the benefits of the World Heritage Site are to be maximised. In particular, the Council must be able to seize employment opportunities in the City / Northshore area as they arise. The Council will therefore continually review the implementation of the SPD, and if necessary come forward with amendments or changes through the statutory planning process. We are grateful to the North West Development Agency and English Heritage for providing the funding for the preparation of this document. We look forward to your response to this document.

Indeed, the cultural heritage of Liverpool’s World Heritage Site (WHS) is of outstanding universal value to the international community. 1.1.3 After decades of economic and environmental decline in the late 20th century, Liverpool has achieved an astounding level of regeneration, through sustained public and private investment, committed partnership working and intelligent planning. Much of the townscape, fractured by war damage, industrial obsolescence and inappropriate developments, has now been repaired and re-invigorated by an exciting blend of the conservation of the key heritage assets and the construction of sustainable contemporary developments. 1.1.4 Liverpool has delivered some outstanding heritage-led regeneration projects such as the restoration of Albert Dock, the Canning Georgian Quarter, St George’s Hall, the Bluecoat Chambers, Sefton Park Palmhouse and the old Liverpool Airport. These and others have generated investment and improved both the economy and the environment of the city. Complementary new developments such as Grosvenor’s Liverpool One and the arena and conference centre at Kings Waterfront demonstrate that high quality new buildings can sit alongside historic buildings and create an exciting and stimulating urban landscape, where both new and old can add value to the overall character of the city. 1.1.5 Much remains to be done, as the city seeks to grow, evolve and find sustainable uses for its redundant historic docklands and its historic buildings that make a positive contribution to the urban landscape. Liverpool City Council and its partners are committed to achieving a sensible balance between growth and conservation in this living working city. This SPD aims to provide guidance which will harmonise differing priorities for regeneration and conservation. It is a response to the changing demands of the port and the city, as Liverpool finds a new role in the 21st century, building upon its unique spirit of place. Enhancing Liverpool’s spirit of place is central to maintaining its distinctiveness, encouraging investment and development. 1.1.6 This Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared to guide development, conservation and investment in the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site and its Buffer Zone with the aim of protecting the WHS’s outstanding universal value whilst ensuring that it continues to play a leading role in the sustained regeneration of the City and the wider sub-region. 1.1.7 This draft SPD has been prepared by Liverpool City Council for consultation purposes. Its contents have been informed by a range of background documents, including the Liverpool WHS Nomination Document, the Liverpool WHS Management Plan and an Evidential Report. The SPD has been produced in accordance with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and Planning Policy Statement 12, Local Development Frameworks. It also embodies the objectives of the existing Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City WHS Management Plan (2003).

The buildings and structures of the port and the city are an exceptional testimony to mercantile culture; and Liverpool played a major role in influencing globally significant demographic changes in the 18th and 19th centuries, through a) its involvement in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and b) its involvement as the leading port of mass European emigration to the New World. 1.2.3 Development proposals within the WHS are considered for their potential direct impact upon the outstanding universal value of the WHS. A Buffer Zone was identified around the WHS, to ensure that proposals that might adversely affect the setting of the WHS can also be carefully considered.

SPDs do not form part of the statutory Development Plan, they do however have statutory status as part of an area’s planning framework. Unlike DPDs, SPDs are not subject to independent examination. 1.4.3 When adopted, this SPD will expand on saved policies contained in the existing Unitary
