LGnd-Gnd 95 Queen Victoria Street, EC4V 4AB

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 12.5% reduction in the RV (7.5% for works at 85 Queen Victoria Street and 5% for Bracken House works) to account for disturbance from nearby redevelopment and refurbishment works comprising noise, dust, vibration, impaired access and loss of outlook. The tribunal found the appellant had not discharged the burden of proof, noting that only one-third of the ground floor was exposed to the works at 85 Queen Victoria Street, the lower ground floor was entirely sheltered, sealed double glazing would reduce noise and dust impact, Bracken House was separated by a public highway, the works were time-limited, and no material or substantial disturbance was demonstrated on the evidence; zoning would have rendered any impact de minimis.
