- The availability of family housing in the area and on the balance and sustainability of the community
What decided it
The modest harm from loss of a large family home would be outweighed by the increased mix and choice of accommodation, net increase of a residential unit, sustainable location, and the property's inherent constraints making it less attractive to families.
The harm from loss of a substantial family dwelling was outweighed by the increased mix and choice of accommodation, efficient use of the site, net increase of a residential unit, sustainable location to the city centre, and the potential for the building to return to a dwelling in future.
