What decided it

The site qualified as Grey Belt land satisfying the NPPF paragraph 155 criteria, meaning the development was not inappropriate in the Green Belt and no adverse impacts outweighed the substantial housing benefits.

the substantial benefits of providing 2 units of housing, given the demonstrable unmet need, were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by any adverse impacts, so permission was granted
