What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers through the loss and degradation of essential open space provision, which would not be outweighed by the moderate housing benefits despite the tilted balance applying.
The moderate benefits of providing four dwellings and associated economic benefits were outweighed by the fairly significant harm to living conditions through loss of open space provision, resulting in dismissal despite the application of paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
