A mural by the street artist Banksy on the side of a Grade II listed Georgian home has been given retrospective listed building consent (LBC) by Cheltenham Borough Council.
The national media have reported on the mural, which depicts two people with 1950’s style listening devices, beside a telephone box, and has roused much comment as it is located in the same town as GCHQ. The planning committee report is an interesting assessment of the mural, and shows comments submitted on the application (28 comments were received, with 23 in support and 5 objecting).
