Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The possible implications of the proposal for the significance of the designated heritage asset of St Bernard's Hospital, a Grade II listed building.

What decided it

The very significant, though less than substantial, harm to the significance of the Grade II listed St Bernard's Hospital was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.

The significant public benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery, economic activity and partial restoration were outweighed by the very significant harm to the significance of the listed building, so the balance tipped against the scheme.
