When Teale lived in Leeds and worked for the city council, she had the gorilla mounted outside her home for more than 15 years and said there was “never any trouble”.
She moved to Stanley in 2020 and returned Caesar to display in 2024 before being told she did not have planning permission for the ape to remain.
On 10 July last year, an enforcement notice was issued by the authority to remove Caesar.
Teale then appealed to the government’s Planning Inspectorate, which ruled in Wakefield Council’s favour.
Teale said locals had used him “as a landmark” and she would be “gutted” to see him go, but instead would be enjoying her new campervan.
She added: “I went as far as I could with it and I couldn’t go any further to be quite honest.
“At the end of the day it’s still a plastic gorilla, regardless.”
