What decided it

The accommodation is wholly inadequate for the health and wellbeing of its occupiers due to failure to meet minimum space standards, and this substantial harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing supply benefits.

The benefits of housing delivery and contribution to meeting housing needs were outweighed by the substantial harm to the health, well-being and amenity of the occupiers caused by wholly inadequate accommodation that fails to meet minimum space standards.
