The second controller, fewer flights to reduce workload, and more of a buffer between allowed airspace would all have helped.

I wonder if the collision avoidance mentioned is effective or even active on final approach and under 500 feet.
I guess the real question, and probably the proximate cause of the collision, is why was the BH with a celling of 200 feet at 350 feet?
