We know to our cost, ever since they filled in the Cavern and replaced it with a pretend one, that it is not in Liverpool's interst to meddle with Beatles history.
The more that is left intact the better - and that include's Ringo's old two-up, two-down.

The catalogue continues: we nearly lost the Strawberry Fields gates, the Penny Lane road sign eventually had to be placed at a height equal to the Eiffel Tour to avoid theft - and now, we stay in that very location for the next episode.
The owner of the Sgt Pepper restaurant on the roundabout - a building and plot immortalised in the song, Penny Lane -- wants to add an extra storey.
The irony is that public demand for food and drink is possibly going to overwhelm the need to keep the building "behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout" beloved by Fab fans worldwide, as intact and same-looking as possible.
The restaurant owner knew what he was inheriting when he moved in. The fact that disabled access requirements have robbed him of valuable retail space is nobody's problem but his own.
If he doesn't like it, he can get back to wherever he once belonged.
And whoevever takes over needs to recognise the significance of the site and Let It Be.
