The building housing an iconic Liverpool music venue and recording studio could be torn down to make way for flats.
The city centr e home of Parr Street Studios, along with Studio 2 and Attic, could be demolished under plans submitted to Liverpool Council.
PJ Percival has applied for permission to build a six-storey and an eight-storey building including apartments and a hotel.
Under the plans the building which houses Parr Street Studios, which has hosted major stars like Drake and Rihanna, would be demolished.
A report submitted with the application says that despite its cultural significance the building which houses the studios is of "low or medium" conservation significance.
The report says: "Artists such as Atomic Kitten, Badly Drawn Boy, Barry Manilow, Beautiful South, Bjork, Black Sabbath, Diana Ross, The Charlatans, Moby, Pulp, Sterophonics and Take That amongst others, have all recorded at the studios.
"As such, the building is closely associated with Liverpool’s world-renowned music culture.
"The building is of some modest local interest due to its unusual art-deco architectural design, its warehouse character and its use as a recording studio in the latter decades of the 20th century.
"It is therefore considered that the existing building possesses some architectural and historic interest.
"Consequently, it is of low medium conservation significance."
Parr Street has been used extensively by acts from both Merseyside and across the world for decades.
The new development, which would span from 33 to 55 Parr Street and would see an aparthotel in the lower floors of the building with the flats above it.
The planner for the project is Mosaic Town Planning, with Architecture JD drawing up the proposals.
