According to the first comment on TFA, it's in a built up area. I checked Google maps [0] and it's pretty bad: 50m of tarmac (no EMAS I think), 50m of grass, then a minor road with commercial buildings.
Regardless, that's one to be considered another aggravating circumstance, not an additional failure. When deciding whether this was a close call, you can treat it as if every runway is wet and in a permanent tailwind and immediately followed by a wooden building full of schoolchildren.
