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?
