What happens to a listed building when it spoils the view

Briefly, I have a moment to do a post here, and I just would like to mention this story:

I am ambivalent on the rights and wrongs of the Elgin Marbles argument, and I don't intend to get involved in the debate here. But I have thought before that the Greek government does its case no favours with the attitude it sometimes takes to those culturally-important monuments it does have.
