The article states the graffiti won't be removed as they are aware it's from Banksy. It's a bit dishearting the only reason it will be allowed to remain is because it has a famous name attached, when otherwise it would have been removed promptly
It's only graffiti of it's unwanted. Otherwise it's art.
I don't know if this Banksy person gets permission first, and the impromptu appearance is just theatre, but the council wants to have at from a celebrated artist.
If you're not a celebrated artist a better approach might be getting permission first.
Banksy famously got their start by asking for permission.
