What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of future occupiers of Flat 2, combined with moderate harm to Flat 1, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing delivery and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The substantial harm to living conditions was given substantial weight and outweighed the modest housing contribution and moderate economic benefits, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under the tilted balance test.
