Officer report
Why officers supported it
The scheme would provide a long-term use for the vacant Grade II* site, remove harmful modern blocks, restore buildings and improve public spaces.
“It is considered that the proposals put forward a viable development which would secure a long-term sustainable use for the Grade II* listed former Royal Masonic Hospital site, which has been vacant since 2006 and is included on the Historic England, Heritage at Risk register.”
“Less than substantial harm, to the low end of the range of less than substantial harm has been identified to the Grade II* Ravenscourt Park Hospital complex, and to the setting of Grade II, 11 Ravenscourt Square, the group of locally listed, (buildings of merit), (9,15 and 17 Ravenscourt Square). Less than substantial harm, to the low end of the range of less than substantial harm has been identified to the Ravenscourt and Starch Green Conservation Area.”
