I think: BW owns the wall, City Council owns the street (the towpath). Adding stones to the wall would change the wall (which is listed as three separate sections between streets) whereas the planned post/rail/glazing just hangs over the wall. The lock is listed. It's in the Whitworth Street conservation area. There's nothing to suggest the Council has consulted English Heritage, and I'll be talking to EH today.
