What decided it
The loss of a much-needed affordable home secured in perpetuity by section 106 agreement, which constitutes substantial harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of one additional open-market dwelling in an area of housing undersupply.
The benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location were outweighed by the substantial harm caused by the loss of an affordable home, with the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole.
Framework references: 11
