2.1 Background
Liverpool can be dated as far back as the 1st Century AD, It was however with the introduction of the Thomas become one of the most important ports in the world.
of holding up to 100 ships. Further docks where added in the years to come as Liverpools maritime wealth increased this was due to many factors including the American civil war and also the slave trade. At its peak Liverpools dock system extended the new docks being built on reclaimed land. The largest of these docks was the Seafoth dock which port in the United Kingdom. Its current import tonnage stands at 32m tonnes of goods and almost a million passengers. Both White Star Line and Cunnard were based at the port and was home to many famous ships including RMS Baltic, HMHS Britannic, RMS Lustania and the RMS Titanic. Liverpool has had a long and hard relationship with the which is widely known to be a very hard and dangerous job with little reward, due to this many Liverpudlians lived in poverty and had a very bleak outlook of life.
2.2 Introduction The Liverpool Dock network is located at the heart of the city of Liverpool on the eastern side of the River Mersey, most of the docks are now part of the World heritage site although they are all covered in the “Buffer zone� The heritage that the docklands offers is of international importantance and as such must be approached with careful consideration.

Over a third of the site consists of docks with open water, comprising Nelson Dock, Salisbury Dock, Collingwood Dock, Princes Dock and Princes Half-Tide dock, Trafalgar Docks have been subject to
redundant since then.
The site consists of land reclaimed from the River Mersey. The site originally incorporated a series of single storey linear transit sheds on the quaysides, with ancillary facilities such as entrance lodges, cranes and an elevated railway together with a system of rail and tram lines. The site historically had the character of a utilitarian and industrial area. This was emphasised still further by the grade II listed Jesse Hartley designed Dock Boundary Wall that separated the site from the commercial and residential areas to the east and limited access to the Although the dock boundary wall still remains a commanding feature, the transit sheds have been demolished over a period of time, and only the quaysides remain. The quaysides still have associated elements such as mooring facilities and limited surfacing materials, some of which have associated railway lines. The remaining docks, including the two Clarence Graving Docks, retain special interest through their monumental construction and robust materials of granite and sandstone, as does the river wall marking the western site boundary.

2.1 The Site 2.1.1
3.6 Site
The Liverpool Waters site is located in the heart of the city of Liverpool on the eastern bank of the River Mersey. The Appendix contains copies of relevant plans submitted as part Analysisof- or Docklands supporting the planning application, updated in the light of consultations. Plan 001 identifies the site location and its boundary. Plans 002 – 009 respectively show neighbourhoods, phasing, development parcels, development plots, building heights, access, car parking and buildings to be demolished – all of which will be considered later in this statement. The Appendix also includes a site reference plan, an indicative masterplan of the Liverpool Waters proposals, enlargements of the masterplan relating to each neighbourhood and, finally, a 3 dimensional axonometric drawing of the indicative masterplan layout.

As already noted, the site extends to some 60 hectares and is located immediately north of Liverpool’s Pier Head. It is over 2 km in length from Princes Dock in the south to Bramley Moore Dock in the north. The site is relatively narrow - about 450m across in the north and 200m in the south.
2.1.3
The site is bounded by the River Mersey to the west. To the east, the docks boundary wall lies within the site and defines it edge strongly except in two places. First, in the vicinity of Waterloo Warehouse, the eastern boundary of West Waterloo Dock and Princes Half Tide Dock defines the site. Second, in the south-east of the site King Edward Industrial Estate is included in the application site but located east of the docks boundary wall. The northern site boundary is not marked clearly on the ground at present but runs at the mid-point between Bramley Moore Dock (within the site) and Wellington Dock (to the north of the site). In the south, St Nicholas Place runs immediately beyond the site.
