Spy Booth OK

Cheltenham Borough Council voted by 12 votes to one to grant retrospective planning permission to Banksy's Spy Booth mural, which appeared on a Grade II listed property last year (CLICK). Naughty Banksy! Campaigns broke out when an attempt was made to buy the mural and cut it from the wall for sale at auction. Retired chartered surveyor Phil Jones's warning notice proved crucial (CLICK). The Council issued a stop notice.
