Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the significance of a Grade II listed building, St Mary's Hospital
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest and significance of the Grade II listed building through its incongruous flat roof form and timber cladding materials, and the private benefits to the appellant do not outweigh this heritage harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CN06 of the Babergh Local Plan Alteration No.2 Adopted June 2006Policy CS15 of the Core Strategy & Policies Part 1 of New Babergh Local Plan February 2014
