See Tosafos Megilla 10a Umay Taama where Tosafos states in the name of R'
Chaim very clearly that after the Beis Hamikdash was built everyone agrees
that there is no heter bamos (see the Mishna above there, which states that
kedushas Yerushalayim ayn achareha heter). This position is adopted by the
Ritva and Ramban in Megilla as well and is also the position of the Rambam
(for a different reason, namely that the original kedusha of the Beis
Hamikdash was never batel).
