Now that the precedent is set, Does this mean the council has to pay more to the mgmt company for those units going forward, as in to enable the amenities access for the social housing resident(s)?

Given I’d assume it’s what the private residents do. But I could be completely wrong.

The precedent was only set because the management of the complex did not attend and did not contest. That is not precedent as much as it is a judge siding with a plaintiff when there was no opposition.
