Liverpool's historic docklands have been added to Unesco's "in danger" list for possible removal of its World Heritage Status.

It follows approval by Liverpool City Council of a £5.5bn plan for redevelopment of the waterfront in March.

Unesco decided the scheme, involving skyscrapers, could "irreversibly damage" historic docklands.

Liverpool City Council described Unesco's move as "premature".

The plans have yet to go to the secretary of state for final approval, and could be subject to a public inquiry.
