I asked for her to summon someone from BA. He duly arrived, confirmed an error and took me in to Chelsea.

The irony was that the initial agent had a BA produced document showing access rights. Apparently they ignore this as it's a BA document.
10k Avios as compensation following email to GGL. Unsolicited but nice to receive.
