What is a platypus Anchor? As one is going to be used on a wall near me to hold it up with some props until the conservation mob decide what to do with it. Personally, to me it looks like it needs to be removed and the foundation remade and rebuilt again. I don't see what you can do with an old wall that is in that condition on a listed building boundary. Brian
Brian,
It seems that Platipus Anchors is a company rather than a particular product. They specialise in "earth anchoring systems" which description apparently covers a large range of different devices and techniques.
So without more specific details, it's not possible to say exactly what is proposed in your case.
In case your software can cope with it, their website is at

What is the postcode or address of this property so we can have a peek on Google earth?

It's spelt with an I not a Y, so that should probably take all notions of it being some duck-bill shaped thing out of mind!
And platipus is just a company name, that specialises in ground anchors
Sounds like some tie rods and plates will be driven into the ground using a portable rig, and will be able to support the wall, maybe temporary, maybe permanent, guess that depends on the condition of the wall?
I think there is more that can be done, provided that expense is no problem. You can see that with the leaning tower of Pisa. They seem reluctant to demolish the old campanile and build a new one.
Although it's unusual to go to such trouble with a garden wall, could they underpin it? Whilst doing that, they could perhaps try to rotate it more towards the vertical.
There's the Pitt Arch on Hampstead Heath, which dates from 1750. It's been undermined by a tree which must be almost as old, and the Heath authorities have simply installed a permanent steel prop to hold it (the arch) up.
Like spend tens of thousands of pounds to give fast(er) broadband to people who chose to live in the middle of nowhere.
Like farmers, district nurses, vets, publicans, shopkeepers? Take a look at a few villagers that have no broadband at all.

It says what it says, but I had not realised it can be a company. That was not inferred in the planning application. First time I'd seen it.
When I googled the word it said it was a rare Australian animal that lays eggs. Brian
