Fears that Banksy will be removed from house in Cheltenham
Last updated Wed 2 Jul 2014
Mark Nelson, Built Environment Enforcement Manager, said:
Cheltenham Borough Council has issued a temporary stop notice to halt work on 159 Fairview Road for 28 days.
The temporary stop notice has been served because the Council considers that works have taken place to a Grade II listed building, which affects its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest, without obtaining consent.
The purpose of the notice is to stop works whilst discussions take place about the next steps.
It is worth clarifying that whilst the Council is supportive of the public’s desire to keep the artwork on this property, the temporary stop notice has been issued to protect the integrity of this listed building.
