City Education Offices, Sir Thomas Street, Liverpool
Liverpool World Heritage Site
Following on from our 2005 appraisal work on every building within Liverpool’s world heritage site, AHP recently undertook a listing review of buildings in the same area for English Heritage’s North-West Regional Office. The purpose was to
identify and describe buildings and structures which merit consideration for inclusion on the national statutory lists.
A more definitive list of buildings of special architectural and historic interest, coupled with effective conservation and development control policies, will provide the framework for the proper protection of the WHS in the lead up to 2008, when Liverpool becomes European Capital of Culture, and in the years beyond that. It will help to provide baseline data for monitoring levels of protection and change in the WHS, and thereby contribute to the periodic monitoring reports required by UNESCO.
