What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, occupying floors 1-6 of an office building, claimed a material change of circumstances due to noise and vibration disturbance from refurbishment works on floors 7-18 above between June 2017 and December 2018, seeking a 2.5-9% RV reduction. The tribunal found the evidence inconclusive: the noise report showed no damage risk and no audible noise during site visits; works were restricted to limited hours (8am-12pm, 4pm-6pm) considering the appellant's trading schedule; and comparable cases involved external disturbance rather than landlord-conducted works. The burden lay on the appellant to prove significant disruption, which the tribunal found unsupported, dismissing the appeal.
