The article says it could result in a fine that’s based on the value of the damage. You’d think having a famous artist’s work would increase the value of the building.
Interesting. “The value of the damage.” I’d say it’s pretty likely the Banksy worked increased the value of the wall, if not the whole property. So is that negative damage? The people who decreased the value where those who tried to clean off the artwork.

would be funny if courts did agree it was net increase to value if they didnt destroy it
So really they devalued public property by destroying his artwork. I say bring the State up on charges.
Even funnier would be if they then put the cleaners in jail instead.

How much does it cost to hire someone to pressure wash a wall for an hour in the UK?
But no, that’s an excellent point, removing the art work would actually be more damaging
The building is already a Grade I listed building.
So, if the damage increased the value of the building, it would necessitate the courts paying? Sounds reasonable.
