The sites have been nominated to UNESCO in January 2003. By March 2004, ICOMOS recommended the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City as a World Heritage Site.[3] It was accepted under cultural basis: ii, iii and iv.
In 2012, the proposed construction of Liverpool Waters project caused for the sites to be included in the List of World Heritage in Danger. In July 2017, UNESCO warned it may lose its status because of the development plans.
The English Heritage argued against the Liverpool Waters development. It believes that it may lead some of Liverpool's most significant historic buildings to be “severely compromised”.[4]
