New Chinatown An Architectural Disaster For Liverpool. Will It Lose Us World Heritage Status?

Another Architectural Disaster For Liverpool. How much more can it take.

For nearly a hundred years the Anglican cathedral has been the dominant force on Liverpool's skyline.

 It has sat head and shoulders above The Three Graces since its inception. It was meant to do this.

Designed to be placed on the highest point where it could be seen from everywhere. Not just in Liverpool but from the Mersey and beyond to Wales. 

It has proudly proclaimed its majesty to all.

Until now when Joe Anderson becomes Mayor.

Joe Anderson is not known as an aesthetic values. But what he is known for is letting his friendly property developing mates introduced by Frank McKenna to build garbage all over the city.

Student flats everywhere and most of them are not even sold and are built on spec. 

If you scroll through Right Move you will find them in the lower price ranges being offered with a guaranteed 8% return.

 There is a giant Pyramid scheme being played out in front of our eyes. These are the slums of the future. Liverpool worked 30 years to get rid of its tenements only to start building them again. 

They knocked down the badly built high rise flats....only to start building them again.

Liverpool is a World Heritage Site. Though you wouldn't think so when you look at Liverpool's New Pier Head.

They have destroyed the sense of the place and still the sycophants at the BBC and the Liverpool Echo keep on calling it Liverpool's world renowned skyline, unable to admit it is a architectural disaster.

Joe Anderson and the Labour party actually put objections into the Three Black Coffins and the New Museum of Liverpool.

It is bad times for Liverpools Heritage and if the reader does not want to, or can not see the disaster there is nothing the writer can do about your taste in architecture. 

But why ruin the rest. Open your eyes wake up to reality, use your mentality. Its a mess.

Liverpool's Supplementary Development Document spells out the key views and most of them have been destroyed or largely ignored.

The most important key views are from all over pointing from every direction to the Anglican Cathedral designed by Giles Gilbert Scott.

Now Joe Anderson's “cosy” developer maes including Eliot are planning to destroy the key views by submitting a planning application that looks as if it is a feit acompli for the new Chinatown.

 Liverpool Deputy Mayor, Cllr Ann O’Byrne added: “Today’s decision is a key step forward for this crucial project, and we look forward to working with the developer so that their vision becomes reality.”

Why would you want to build a New Chinatown destroying its history?

A boring and bland architectural disaster on its own without coming up to the shoulders of our great ecclesiastical masterpiece.

There is also a fine upstanding building Grade II listed (does Joe Anderson's planning appointees understand the phrase) that is currently a wedding shop. 

This is designed by J.P Seddon and will look a sorry and pathetic sight in the new setting, if it went ahead.

How can Liverpool do planning so bad.

Is it corrupt?

Meanwhile Unesco have not been informed

Marc Waddington Of The Liverpool Echo Gets It Spot On.

Fed up with Liverpool Echo Advertorials by Alastair Machray & Co at Trinity 'Smoking' Mirrors at Oldham Hall Street we find it surprising that this bit of writing escapes the censors. We don't have to add to it just click on the picture.
Now maybe Marc could continue with the good work and look into the planning corruption that is going on right before his eyes.
Alastair Machray is in charge of the third rate journo's who have been turning a blind eye to the planning corruption while being spoon fed by the property developers PR companies. Shame on you Mr Machray....well done Marc lets have some more.

Joe Anderson says "Waterfront Is Our Best Asset-After He Has Got Us Placed On The Unesco World Heritage 'In Danger"' List

You couldn't make this up.
Only in Liverpool can a Mayor be such a bold faced property developers friend and get away with it. come back Derek Hatton all is forgiven. Oh he is already back.
Il Duce Anderson is the reason Liverpool is on the In Danger list and he now he, along with his Daily Poodles at the Liverpool Echo gets a soundbite that give the impression that he cares about it.
While allowing his minions such as Rob Burns to run riot over all the rules of planning based on good practice.

While Liverpool becomes the European Capital of Potholes he tells all his property developing friends at MIPIM the jolly junket that he will bend over backwards to help them.

And all reported by Peels poodle Tony McDonough and edited by Alastair Machray.

Chancery House Destroyed By Liverpools Brain Dead Planners. Rob Burns Has A Lot To Answer For.

 How can they do this to a listed building and then market it as a prime address.
This once proud building stands just by the 'paved Paradise and put up a parking lot' bus station at Liverpool One and opposite the new John Lewis. Just look what they are doing to a Grade II listed building.
Only in Liverpool would this be allowed.......and in a World Heritage Site.
This can only be described as an architectural abortion and Liverpools planners are to blame.
Joe "Must Go" Anderson dissolved the conservation office when he arrived in office on his 17% of the electorate vote and then set about building a property developers paradise.

Why would you do this unless you wanted to pave the way for his property developing mates?
 Those "cosy" developers many of whom are enrolled in Downtown Liverpool In Business. (More on them to come).



Chancery House was a pretty good building that was listed Grade II for its architectural merits. 
A solid red brick turreted folly dating from the 1870's, built when they used craftsmen who knew what they were doing. When people had pride in the city and its street scape. 
Built of rich red terracotta brick banded by coloured brick. 
It has romanesque style round headed windows. It was a noble building that does not deserve this disrespect. 

All this means nothing to Rob Burns who surely needs to be moved on. He knows nothing about heritage. He does not care one jot about Liverpools great architectural past.

 Just look at the architectural mess that he is helping create.

He is responsible for heritage and design while David Hughes has the title of the new Chief Planner,
This allows Rob Burns to ease all planning applications from Joe Andersons "Friends" through the planning process at breakneck pace with what seems a total disreguard for listed status.

Little wonder we are on the Unesco In Danger list.

Here you can see the setting against the old Henry Poole  gates erected as a momento of the past mistakes when they demolished the old Sailors Home.

 The old conservation office was pretty bad but now being led by Rob Burns it is a disgrace.
And what are English Heritage doing about the problems here in Murkeyside.
Mr Burns you should go and hang your head in shame for what you are doing to our city.
Why cant they leave anything along?
Why destroy something that has taken a century to mature with for a load of apartments?
 It can only be Miseryside.

Boring BAY TV-Can Public Service Broadcasting Be This Bad.

Bad Lighting, Bad Sound. Corrupted Ideas put together by their friendly PR companies and lapped up by the producers of Bay TV. http://www.baytvliverpool.com/

Can a public service be so out of touch?
It is like a group of middle aged men have been let out of the Athenaum Club for a weekend and come up with a load of ideas on how they think the public of Liverpool should be entertained .......only it is their idea, and these so called ideas are aided and abetted by property developers such as Neptune Developments wanting to convince the people of this great city that it is a good idea to dump a load more student shoeboxes on the population.
I recently watched a programme where David Lloyd of the the website/blog Seven Streets http://www.sevenstreets.com/ interviewed a director of Neptune over Lime Street plans.
It was such a bad interview that he may as well not have been there. (Can't you buy the services of Seven Streets as your very own PR machine?) So there's another conflict of interests. Isn't there?
Lets hope that you the public can see through the drivel of ill thought out topics that the untalented researchers at Bay TV employ to entertain you.
We feel so strongly about the lack of topic quality and the constant churning of repeated programmes that we are writing to Ofcom to complain.
